CAIRO - Oman's Port of Duqm said on Monday it is ready to provide storage options, transhipment, and bunkering solutions for containers, RORO units, and any vessel types looking for new safe haven in the Middle East, Port of Duqm Company said on Twitter.

The company said the port is also ready to mitigate the situation being faced by shipping operators who have their ships stuck on the Red Sea side of the Suez Canal.

It added that "these ships can explore the options of offloading their containers or their cargo at the port, for temporary storage and later on, through the deployment of specific relief ships of varying sizes, decide to clear these back logs for final delivery to the destination points."
