The Public Authority for Special Economic Zones and Free Zones has announced a tender for additional works at the fishing port in the Special Economic Zone at Duqm.

The project, funded by the Saudi Fund for Development, will provide essential services including road networks, traffic signals and signage, road lighting, rainwater drainage systems, sewage networks, drinking water networks, fire safety systems and communication networks.

The Authority is inviting experienced Omani and Saudi company alliances to participate in the tender through the electronic platform. The deadline for submitting tender documents is set for 18 November.
