Shinas Port Bitumen Site Project (inprogress)
"FHIC acts as the consultant and official representative for the bitumen site project at Shinas Port on behalf of PGFC, the project’s rights holder. The company is responsible for introducing these projects to all investors and contractors, and creating the necessary conditions to ensure the successful progress of these projects."
Vision & Major Goals
The proposed Shinas Port Bitumen Site Project represents a strategic infrastructure development for Oman's bitumen production and distribution capabilities. This two-phase project aims to establish a comprehensive bitumen processing and storage facility with a focus on technological efficiency and environmental sustainability.
- Strategic location at Shinas Port
- High-capacity storage infrastructure
- Advanced thermal management
- Commitment to environmental sustainability
- Scalable two-phase development approach
The Shinas Port Bitumen Site project is in response to domestic needs primarily and foreign export markets in the field of bitumen. Given its excellent geographical location in terms of maritime access and the definition of the project based on industrial sustainability with an environmental approach, it can play an important role in supplying the bitumen needed for industrial projects.
