The Port of Sohar has conducted a competitive tendering process selecting the most qualified operators for such service for its port. The port consists of an increasing number of industries as well as modern expanding terminals.

From Mid June 2010, Matrix Marine and Omanoil will offer marine fuels of different grades to vessels calling the port or staying at the anchorage area. The close proximity to international shipping lanes and especially traffic out of and into the Straits of Hormuz makes this port a promising destination for establishment of such service.

Matrix Marine is a subsidiary of Mabanaft, the trading division of Marquard & Bahls, Hamburg, a leading independent petroleum company, privately owned. The business encompasses physical delivery of marine fuels in Houston, Singapore and India. Furthermore, Mabanaft is active in international trading of petroleum products, service stations, heating-oil retail, lubricants, and biofuels. Through its subsidiaries and representative offices, Mabanaft is well positioned in all important regions worldwide.
