Navigating Global Trade with Precision Sea Freight Solutions
MHD Logistics connects Oman to the world’s major markets. Leveraging the strategic advantage of Sohar, Salalah, and Duqm ports, we offer integrated sea freight solutions that balance cost-efficiency with reliable transit times.
From bulk commodities to containerized retail goods, our sea freight division is the engine of global trade for Oman’s industries. We manage the entire ocean lifecycle—booking cargo space, handling complex customs documentation, and coordinating port-to-door delivery. Supported by the financial strength of the Mohsin Haider Darwish Group, we have the buying power to secure competitive rates and the expertise to handle everything from standard FCL shipments to complex Breakbulk projects for the Oil & Gas sector.
How this works
No hidden surcharges. We provide all-inclusive freight quotes that clearly break down ocean freight, bunker adjustment factors (BAF), and local terminal handling charges (THC).
Competitive contract rates with major shipping lines.
Clear visibility on demurrage and detention free days.
Avoid port storage fees with our off-dock solutions. We utilize our 20,000+ sqm facility and bonded zones to store your cargo immediately after discharge, allowing for flexible distribution timing.
Container Freight Station (CFS) for consolidation.
Bonded storage for duty-deferred re-export.
Visibility across the ocean. We integrate with major carrier platforms to provide real-time vessel tracking and milestone updates, from the moment the container is gated in at the origin port to its arrival in Oman.
Automated arrival notices and delivery orders.
Proactive delay alerts for weather or port congestion.
Compliance is key. We adhere to strict ISPS (International Ship and Port Facility Security) codes and ensure all containers are high-security sealed. For sensitive cargo, we offer marine insurance coverage to protect against general average and damage.
Verified Gross Mass (VGM) compliance.
Hazardous materials (IMDG) handling expertise.
Simplified trade finance. We offer flexible payment terms for our corporate partners, including credit facilities and streamlined invoicing that matches your purchase orders for easy reconciliation.
Digital invoicing for faster processing.
Support for Letter of Credit (LC) documentation.
SERVICE SUB-TYPES
The standard for global trade. We offer 20ft, 40ft, and 40ft High Cube options for exclusive use, ensuring your goods are sealed at origin and remain untouched until they reach your warehouse.
Pay only for the space you use. We consolidate smaller shipments from multiple shippers into a single container, offering a cost-effective solution for SMEs and just-in-time inventory.
For cargo that doesn't fit in a box. We specialize in handling oversized industrial equipment, vehicles, and heavy machinery using specialized vessels and handling gear. Perfect for Oman’s construction and energy projects.
Let us do the heavy lifting
International shipping involves more than just a vessel; it requires a navigator who understands the regulatory currents. MHD Logistics handles the complex web of customs clearance, port regulations, and documentation so you don’t have to.
Our in-house customs brokers are experts in Oman’s Bayan system, ensuring rapid clearance at Sohar, Salalah, and Muscat ports. Whether it’s securing special permits for hazardous cargo or managing temporary imports for project equipment, we ensure your supply chain keeps moving.
