About Sohar
Sohar sits north of Muscat outside the Strait of Hormuz, beside a large industrial free zone built around it. It is the usual choice for cargo genuinely staying in Oman, serving the populated north of the country. Its position outside the strait gives it a routing advantage for some services.
First Base Freight handles both import and export cargo through Sohar — inbound from any country and outbound to any country. Indicative sea transit on our the UK lane is 17–22 days; transit on any other routing is confirmed at quote stage.
