Sharjah authorities have announced a significant measure to boost trade by waiving toll gate fees for cargo trucks arriving from Oman. This exemption is applicable for trucks using the Khatmat Malaha and Al Madam border crossings, which are integral to the emirate's logistics corridor with Oman. The Khatmat Malaha crossing, located near the Port of Sohar, is about 70 kilometers from the Omani port, facilitating quicker cargo movement and significantly reducing transit times. Meanwhile, the Al Madam crossing serves as a crucial junction for major transport routes, enhancing the region's import and export capabilities. Earlier this year, Sharjah and Oman port authorities established a logistics corridor that encompasses several Omani ports, including Sohar, Duqm, and Salalah. This corridor allows for streamlined customs clearance at the border crossings, primarily at Khatmat Malaha and Al Madam, eliminating additional transfer stages. As a result, the processing time and costs associated with cargo movement are expected to decrease, promoting faster shipments and economic growth in the region.
