The Sultanate of Oman’s pivotal role in the political, financial and security stabilization of the region and inside borders assure investors/clients the protection of their investment and guarantee an uninterrupted chain of supply.

Oman promotes foreign investments, allowing international companies to benefit from a low tax regime and a well-funded banking system, pushing forward private sector aspirations and revenue growth. RasMarkaz is part of SEZAD –a free zone-and so exempt from all corporate, customs and other taxes.

• RasMarkaz is located on the south-east coast of the Sultanate of Oman, south of the Strait of Hormuz.
• Crossroads of water-ways from Europe and Africa to/from Asia.
• Presents a unique combination of offshore and floating storage with direct access to Oman’s main oil fields and refinery.
• Potential for pipeline connection to other Gulf exporters.
• Promotes high-quality services to institutional clients and traders from around the world, particularly the Gulf region, East Africa and Asia.

This storage facility will sit on Oman’s Indian Ocean coastline around 1000 km from the Strait of Hormuz, a potential choke point in the global oil supply chain. From this strategic vantage point, OTTCO RAS will significantly enhances the world’s energy transit security. RasMarkaz will provide easy access to markets in South Asia, the Far East and Africa as well as land and sea access to producers in the Middle East. OTTCO RAS’s facility is both a critical element in the next generation of Oman’s diversified infrastructure, and a key link in the Indian Ocean’s maritime energy supply chain.
