four consecutive years, Hutchison Ports Sohar has been recognized as a Best

Chief Executive Officer Albert Pang said, “Hutchison Ports Sohar is honored to be
recognized as a key partner in fostering the development of innovative e-commerce
tools in Oman. For our customers’ experience enhancement and convenience, payment
processes like online banking and point of sale solutions will be integrated with the
terminal’s web portal as well as its automated gate system. We partner with the Omani
banking and financial community so that we can make our digital platforms available to
customers as soon as possible.”
Over the years, Hutchison Ports Sohar has invested a significant amount of time and
money into digitizing work processes at the terminal. To enhance the flow of cargo and
efficiency of payment, we are also implementing a landside digitization project (LDP).
Together, the LDP and electronic payment solutions from Bank Muscat will contribute to
the further growth of e-commerce in Oman.
