Generic Information:

Oman , officially the Sultanate of Oman is an Arab country in the south eastern coast of the

Arabian Peninsula. Holding a strategically important position at the mouth of the Persian Gulf,

the nation is bordered by the United Arab Emirates to the northwest, Saudi Arabia to the west,

and Yemen to the southwest, and shares marine borders with Iran and Pakistan. The coast is

formed by the Arabian Sea on the southeast and the Gulf of Oman on the northeast. The

Madha and Musandam exclaves are surrounded by the UAE on their land borders, with the

Strait of Hormuz and Gulf of Oman forming Musandam's coastal boundaries.

Oman is member of the GCC but wants to maintain neutrality and good relationship with all its

neighbours, including Iran. The Ports in Oman are strategically located in the Arabian Sea, with

close proximity to Iran and India in Asia, the Horn of Africa and East Africa, with whom Oman

also shares historical and cultural heritages, as well as with Yemen.

Infrastructure and industries are state of the art. The port of Salalah, close to Yemen is of a

particular interest for WFP. The Port of Sohar in the East is a joint-venture between with Port of

Rotterdam, while the vast Port of Duqm is a joint-venture with the Port of Antwerp. Both the

joint-ventures are at fifty percent with Oman.

Calamities and Seasonal Affects

Like the rest of the Persian Gulf, Oman generally has one of the hottest climates in the world,

and receives little rainfall. Annual rainfall in Muscat averages 100 mm (3.9 in), falling mostly in

January. The Dhofar Mountains area has a tropical-like climate and receives seasonal rainfall

(from late June to late September) as a result of the monsoon winds from the Indian Ocean,

saturated with cool moisture and heavy fog. The mountain areas receive more plentiful rainfall,

and annual rainfall on the higher parts of the Jabal Akhdar probably exceeds 400 mm (15.7 in).

Low temperatures in the mountainous areas result in snow cover once every few years. Some

parts of the coast, particularly near the island of Masirah, sometimes receive no rain at all

within the course of a year. The climate generally is very hot, with temperatures reaching

around 50 °C (122.0 °F) (peak) in the hot season, from May to September.

Capacity and Contacts for In-Country Emergency Response

Government

The history of Emergency Management in Oman is patchy. The first record of establishing a

national-level emergency management system started in the year 1988. The inception of the

idea was initiated by four main different government departments: the Royal Oman Police,

Ministry of Interior, Ministry of Health and the Ministry of Social Affairs. They together

established the National Committee for Emergencies in 1988. According to the best of available

records, it appears to be unique in the region at that time. In the same year, another committee

was established – the National Committee for Natural Disasters. However, in the time period

between 1988 and 1999 there seems to be a gap in emergency management history in Oman.

There is no record of any activities during this time even though few large scale well-

documented disasters occurred during this period. Perhaps, it is safe to assume that this time

period was one of complacency for emergency management initiatives in Oman. Emergency

management measures came to a halt as a result of changes in global and regional diplomatic

forces following the Gulf War and the financial crisis that followed in 1991. The nation’s

priorities had changed.

http://www.emdat.be/country-profile

Oman - Limited LCA

Version 9 12

However, in 1999, the National Committee for Emergencies was revived again and it merged

with the National Committee for Natural Disasters to become the National Committee for Civil

Defence (NCCD). The new organizations was placed under the leadership of the Royal Oman

Police. The NCCD was not really active for some time because it was first established to be a

reactive governmental body for national disasters and emergencies (so it did not actively

engage in disaster preparedness activities). This was changed in 2002 when the NCCD

became an identified semi-autonomous section within the overall structure of the Royal Oman

Police. In other words, before 2002 the National Committee for Civil Defence was a section

within the civil defence directorate of the Royal Oman Police and in 2002 it became a separate

entity with an executive office to run its operations. Perhaps this change followed a global

expansion of the concept of emergency management following the 9/11 terrorist attacks. In

2003, 8 subcommittees were formed from the main NCCD body. These committees are

specialized regional-level emergency management bodies that were tasked to carry out

emergency preparedness activities in 8 regions of Oman. Since 2003, smaller specialized

emergency response teams were formulated under the Royal Oman Police. These include the

first national emergency medical service (Al-Shaqsi 2009), the national chemical response

team, and other search and rescue teams.

The first national-level disaster was Cyclone Gonu in 2007. Following Gonu, the Sultan Qaboos

gave the NCCD the authority to appoint members and he ordered a major reform in the

structure of the NCCD (making it more proactive in emergency preparedness measures rather

than reacting to disasters in the country). In June 2010, the country was battered again by

another cyclone (Cyclone Phet) and the Sultan ordered the NCCD to establish a national-level

crisis management expert’s panel to actively work on comprehensive future plans for

emergency management in Oman. The 2010 Sultan’s orders directed the NCCD to ramp up its

capabilities and decentralise its operations in all parts of Oman. Sultan Qaboos emphasised the

need for increased health and search and rescue capabilities for the NCCD as it was previously

focused on logistical support to emergency response only.

In a wider sense, the NCCD structure is the foundation for the newly-established Regional

Crisis Centre that is based in Kuwait. The Gulf Cooperation Countries (GCC) Regional Crisis

Centre is tasked with improving prevention, mitigation, preparedness and response measures

to natural and human-made disasters in the region. The following time-line indicates the corner

stones of emergency management in the Sultanate of Oman.

Version 9 13

Current structure of the NCCD

The current National Committee for Civil Defence (NCCD) consists of 16 members from

different governmental departments. It has a Chairman who is the Inspector General of the

Royal Oman Police as well as a deputy-chairman who is the assistant Inspector General of the

Royal Oman Police. The daily operations of the NCCD are coordinated by the Executive

Director who is a senior rank police officer. The graph below shows the current members of

NCCD in Oman.

There are a few observations to note regarding the current structure of NCCD in Oman. Firstly,

the NCCD is still largely attached to Police operations, largely because the original inception of

emergency management in Oman in 1988 was championed by the Police. This organizational

arrangement may also be a reflection of the wide range of services provided by Police in

Oman. Another striking observation is that there is no representative from Non-Governmental

Organisations (NGOs) in the overall structure of NCCD. This is somewhat ironic since NGOs,

such as Oman Charitable Organization (OCO), have had a long history of disaster relief and

response to many incidents in the country and abroad. Besides this omission, there is no

representative of private services in Oman. The current emergency management regulations in

Oman demands that the government ministries have senior level representation in the NCCD.

This is usually the minister or the under-secretary of the respective ministry. This creates a

logistical challenge as it is difficult to arrange meetings with all very senior official of

government ministers are present. Therefore, the meetings of NCCD have been sporadic and

few.

Version 9 14

Emergency Management legislation in the Sultanate of Oman

There are two laws that regulate emergency management in the Sultanate of Oman. The first is

the Civil Defence Law that was instituted by the Royal Degree 76 in 1991. The second is the

State of Emergency Law, which was outlined by the Royal Decree 75 in 2008. Here is a

translated description of these two laws with a specific emphasis on the articles that directly

outline emergency management operations in Oman.

Civil Defence Law (Royal Decree 76/91): Section one of this law clearly recognizes “Civil

Defence” as a Directorate in the Royal Oman Police structure and is headed by a Director

General appointed by the Sultan of Oman Himself. In this section, a collection of terms are

presented such as the definition of Civil Defence and a State of Emergency. The law also

referred specifically to the value of volunteers and defined them as “anyone who steps in by

invitation or self-volunteering to help during a national crisis time” (Royal 1991). It is interesting

to note that the Civil Defence Law in Oman identified the role of volunteers in emergency

management from the early days of emergency management in Oman.

Section two of the Civil Defence Law outlines the measures that Civil Defence should take to

achieve the goals of the civil defence operations. These measures include:

1. Proper planning to ensure the safety and security of all people in Oman during the time

of emergency.

2. Establishment of evacuation plans for affected areas and rescue the impacted

population.

3. Establishment of a mechanism to assess and monitor the radiological hazards in the

country.

4. Establishment of national teams for search, rescue and medical care provision during

emergencies with defined standards and protocols.

5. Establishment of a national plan to ensure the functionality and backup for all

communication systems in the country during a national emergency.

Oman - Limited LCA

Version 9 15

6. Establishment of a national warning system for all-hazard emergencies and designate

evacuation zones in all main populated areas.

7. Stockpiling of essential consumables and items required for national emergency

response.

8. Establishment, training, and upgrading of national assistance teams ready to be

deployed during emergencies.

9. Initiation of a Memorandum of Understanding with the media to increase the awareness

of people in Oman to the hazards and the preparedness measures the public should engage

into to effectively mitigate, prepare and response to emergencies.

This section therefore outlines the broad goals of the Civil Defence that are common in any civil

defence system. However, it is interesting to note that the regional political system at that time

influenced this law with a clear emphasis on radiological hazards, as this was a serious threat

after the first Gulf War in 1991. Another unique issue alluded to by this section is the

importance and need to establish volunteer-based assistance teams to augment the civil

defence operations. This issue is very central to contemporary disaster management around

the world and lessons from Haiti draws the global attention to the value of proper national level

volunteer-based assistance teams (Ivers, Cullen et al.). Currently there are no assistance

teams in Oman and the experience from Cyclone Gonu and Phet highlighted again the urgency

to establish such teams. The royal orders in 2010, after the review of Cyclone Phet response,

call for prompt action in this direction especially the urgency and need to establish the Omani

Medical Assistance Teams (OMATs).

Section three of the Civil Defence Law delineates command during an emergency and it gives

the authority to the Chairman of the National Committee for Civil Defence to be the

Commander of the national response (Royal 1991). This section also gives the authority to the

National Committee for Civil Defence to override the normal national laws and regulations in

order to save lives and preserve property during emergencies. It allows the Chairman of the

NCCD to institute any measure to achieve the mission of the committee during a national

emergency response. However, this authority and power of the NCCD chairman has to be

endorsed by all members of the NCCD.

Section four of the law recognizes the privileges, financial reimbursement and support for

volunteers during national emergencies. The Royal Oman Police is to be the responsible

agency to establish, train and assess national volunteer teams. The teams’ financial support

should follow the Civil Defence salary guidelines. For example, a medical doctor working for the

ministry of health that gets deployed to a disaster management mission should be reimbursed

for the work done as if he is employed by the civil defence. This regulations provides the

incentives guidelines for all people to participate in emergency management missions when

required.

Oman - Limited LCA

Version 9 16

Interestingly, article 9 specifically states that it is the responsibility of the Civil Defence to

assess health care facilities preparedness to receive victims of national emergencies. This

clearly gives the Royal Oman Police an over-arching power to audit the governmental health

care preparedness. Article 13 of this section indicates that all governmental departments can

request material and logistical support from the Civil Defence to enhance their preparedness.

Finally, article 18 of this section outlines that it is paramount to teach civil defence and disaster

management skills to all people in all levels of education in Oman including, schools,

polytechnics, universities and colleges (Royal 1991). The current reality in Oman is that there is

no teaching of civil defence or disaster management skills to the public.

State of Emergency Law (Royal Decree 75/08): This law is perhaps a result from the lessons

learned from Cyclone Gonu in 2007. The Civil Defence law alluded to above was the governing

law of emergency management in Oman before the inception of this law. Following are the

main sections of the Law (Royal 2008).

Section one outlines the process of declaring a “State of Emergency.” It clearly states that the

Sultan of Oman is the one to declare a “State of Emergency.” The Sultan’s declaration should

include the reasons for the declaration and the extent of the declaration. It is the responsibility

of the National Security Council to advise the Sultan about the initiation, extent, and termination

of the “State of Emergency.” The Sultan of Oman is the ultimate commander of the national

emergency response in the country. This authority is clearly stated in the foundation document

of the Omani Law. Article 42 of section 1 in the White book: the Basic Law of the Sultanate of

Oman, states that one responsibility of the Sultan is to “declare a State of Emergency, general

mobilization, or war and making peace in accordance with the Basic Omani Law” (White 1996).

Section two outlines the authorities and powers of the National Security Council during an

emergency. This includes imposing curfews as required, determining the functions of

government agencies during emergencies, controlling communication modalities in the country

for security purposes, making decisions on evacuations and the command of responders or any

other government and non-government personnel to carry out specific tasks to help in the

emergency response.

Section three states that the operational arm of the emergency response in Oman is the

responsibility of the Royal Oman Police unless ordered otherwise by the Sultan after

consultation with the National Security Council. The armed forces are not to be involved in

operations of emergency responses unless directed by the commander of the armed forces (i.

e., the Sultan of Oman). This section therefore reflects the heavy involvement of the Royal

Oman Police and specifically the Civil Defence Directorate in emergency response in Oman.

Section four outlines the regulations during civil unrest that are considered during an internal

emergency. This section also refers to the role of the National Security Court in such

emergencies. This section could be seen in response to one event in 2005 in which a small

group of Omanis were charged with acts of plotting and planning a national unrest (2010).

Oman - Limited LCA

Version 9 17

In summary, there are two main legislations in Oman outlining the emergency management.

The laws delineate that the Commander for national-level emergencies is the Sultan Qaboos

with assistance from the National Security Council. The operational arm of the emergency

response is the Royal Oman Police and the National Committee for Civil Defence with its 20

governmental representatives. The laws also highlight the importance of training, education,

public awareness and volunteerism during emergencies.

Humanitarian Community

The Oman Charitable Organization (OCO) was founded in 1996. The OCO is equivalent to a

national Red Crescent society, but is not part of the Red Cross/ Red Crescent movement. It

has diverse social activities inside Oman, but is also operating currently in Yemen, Afghanistan,

Somalia and Darfur. The OCO is deploying around the world during emergencies.

OCO is the designated first point of contact for WFP for all operational negotiations inside

Oman and the focal point also for interacting with the Government.

For deliveries inside Yemen the OCO is facing the same challenges as WFP, fuel shortages

and lack of trucking capacity due to the security situation

Version 9 18

3 2 Oman Logistics Infrastructure

The Port of Salalah specialises in container transit and handles 3 million TEUs with ample

spare capacity. Conventional berths are available and underutilised. WFP vessels can have

priority berthing. Ample and adequate storage is available for the purpose of WFP cargo. Food

suppliers and food processing factories, including a milling plant with 1500Mt/ day capacity, are

also operational in Salalah.

The Port of Sohar, located north of Muscat had a booming growth since its opening in 2002. It

is composed of three main sectors: one for petroleum, one for industrial cargoes and steel and

one for general cargoes and containers. The port is complimented by a free zone for industrial

development.

The largest mill in Oman is located in the old Port of Muscat and has silos able to receive bulk

vessels. The capacity of the mills is committed until the end of Ramadan.

Duqm Port is a gigantic project under construction; it is highly strategic given its location in the

Arabian Sea. Duqm City and the Port will be a free zone complimented with industrial parks

and all amenities. The project presents WFP with an opportunity to engage during the planning

for humanitarian needs.

Port Overview

The Port of Salalah is partly owned and managed by APM Terminals. It is operating since 1998

and is established as a leading transhipment hub, handling over 3 million TEUs per year. The

port is strategically positioned close to the free zone and industrial park and offers both land,

sea and air connectivity.

Given the close proximity and short sailing time to Yemen, the Port of Salalah offers a strategic

location for an additional staging area for the Yemen crisis.

Arguably, Salalah can also be considered as a transit hub for the Global Commodity

Management Facility (GCMF, former FPF) for the planning zone in the sub-region.

success has been a combination of location advantages, congestion-free deep-water berths,

competitive service levels and consistently high productivity.

Expansion CT Berths 7, 8, 9

Given the strong growth trends being witnessed at the Container Terminal, a major expansion

could be in the offing sooner than later. An expansion of the Container Terminal as well as

Terminal-2 received the government’s formal approval in 2009. Upon implementation, the

upgrade will add three new berths of a total quay length of 1,350 metres. The expansion will

boost the hub's quay length to 3,555 metres and crank up the port's annual container handling

capacity to nine million TEU, further paving the way for Salalah's elevation into the ranks of the

world's largest transhipment hubs.

Terminal Information

An expansion project for a grain terminal with complete silos designed for around 100.000 tons

of wheat storage is in progress.

There is no shortage of equipment or bagging possibilities. Trucks are widely available from the

nearby industrial zone and free zone, where suppliers of veg oil, pasta and wheat flour are

operating. Jumbo bags are available and can be purchased immediately with 4-5 days delivery

upon request.

There are two bulk and general cargo terminals, both for bulk and break bulk cargo. The port

can accommodate food in warehouse facilities inside the port and extra facilities outside the

port. If requested, Mobile Storage Units (MSUs) can be temporarily set-up for WFP operations

free of charge.

Liquids held at the free zone and facilities have the potential to create a liquids hub at port of

Salalah in the future. Investments are also ongoing in a new tank storage facilities of total

capacity 6 million MT up to current capacity of one million MT. The oil terminal is capable of

accommodating vessels up to 35,000 DWT and tankers with 10m maximum arrival draught.

Warehousing in Salalah

The mission did not carry out an exhaustive warehouse capacity assessment in Salalah but, as

an indication, visited a warehousing complex at Halabaazar where 13,000 sqm are available

and are most currently empty; this capacity is divided between warehouses ranging from

1200sqm to 1500 sqm in size. Premises are clean and spacious, ventilated and isolated. AC

and forklifts can be arranged on demand. Prices are negotiable and can offer long term

contracts 3-4 years.

Maritime Database information on Port of Sohar

Port Overview

The Port of Sohar, located north of Muscat had a booming growth since its opening in 2002. It

is composed of three main sectors: one for petroleum, one for industrial cargoes and steel and

one for general cargo and containers. The port is complimented by a free zone for industrial

development. The port is situated in the Barka region, which is the main logistics hub. All

containerized services previously handled by Muscat port have now been transferred to Sohar

port. Muscat has now became a port for cruise ships, while 90% of domestic cargo is imported

via Sohar port.

The port is mainly handling bulk cargo, steel, cement and liquids on a special terminal for a

Brazilian company. It is also strategically located to open to new business with Iran.

Construction works of a food terminal, a railway and silos are on-going. The port will be

connected to the GCC railway network, and the connection with Abu Dhabi will be complete by

2018-19.

The container terminal is operational and currently handling 11.000 TEUs a year, with 11

shipping lines calling on a weekly basis and the capacity to receive large container ships. The

port is also going through a huge construction for other business and large investments both

from the Oman Government, as well as the private sector. Between 4 to5 hectares of space is

available at the free zone. A sugar refinery plant in under construction, together with silos for

flour mills, which will be available within 16 to 18 months. Finally, warehouses and maritime

services from husbandry services to bunkers are also available.

The Port of Sohar is an equal, joint venture with the Port of Rotterdam.

Maritime-database information on Port of Duqm ts.php

Port Overview

The Port and City of Duqm project has impressive plans, and long-term vision to establish a

major logistical hub for the GCC. Given its strategic location to the Arabia Sea, it is well

connected to Asia, Africa, the Middle East; it also at the crossing point of all shipping lines to

Europe, Australia and the Americas.

Currently, the Port and the City are under construction. The Port will be composed of a gigantic

Version 9 38

container and general cargo terminal, an oil terminal, a dry dock and possibilities for further

extension. Duqm Port will also be connected to the GCC railway, with railway sidings on the

quay.

The City will be composed of residential areas, an industrial park, recreational and educational

areas, and a touristic area.

Port Performance

Conceived as a multipurpose facility, Port of Duqm will cater to a wide range of cargoes and

vessels. Envisioned in the master-plan are dedicated terminals for General Cargo,

Containerised Cargo, Liquids and Petroleum Products, and Bulk Commodities. Construction of

the marine substructure of a 2.2-km-long commercial quay has been completed. The quay,

suitably fitted out and equipped, will be rolled out in stages during the 2014-15 timeframe.

Importantly, there is provision to add a further 10 kilometers of commercial berths during Phase

2 of the port’s development. Depending upon specific demand, these additional berths will be

earmarked for general, container, liquids and bulk cargo as the case may be.

Separately, construction is well underway on the quay wall designated exclusively for use by

government vessels, such as those belonging to the Royal Yacht, Royal Oman Police Coast

Guard, Royal Navy of Oman, and Sultan’s Special Forces. The government berths will come

into service in 2014.

General Cargo Terminal:A 300-metre length of the commercial quay was officially inaugurated in March 2013, effectively

marking the formal launch of commercial operations at the Port of Duqm. The quay has been

equipped with a range of cargo handling gear suited for the handling of a wide variety of

general and project cargoes.

Container Terminal:A 1,600-metre length of the commercial quay has been set aside for the development of a

dedicated Container Terminal with a throughput capacity of 3.5 million TEUs.

Liquids & Oil Terminal:A tender for the design of a Liquids & Oil Terminal on the northern breakwater will be floated

soon. This facility will primarily serve the feedstock and export requirements of a major refinery

and petrochemicals complex planned at the adjoining SEZ. The terminal is proposed to be

brought into operation in parallel with the launch of the refinery in 2017.

Minerals / Bulk Commodities Jetty:Port of Duqm will play a key role as a catalyst in the commercialization of the potentially vast

minerals resources of the Wusta region. A major Minerals Jetty, with a capacity to handle up to

5 million tons per annum of commodities, will be built in the first phase of the port’s

development. This facility will either be operated by Port of Duqm Company or by an interested

private investor. Conveyor systems will link the quay directly to stockyards planned well away

from the jetty.

Overall, The Sultanate of Oman can be very good location to support Yemen relief operations

due to the strategic location of Salalah at the border of Yemen. The great support and

assistance that WFP mission done in May 2015 received from the Government of Oman to

establish a base for air operations in Salalah was conformed during many meeting. The

weather is appropriate for aviation due to the moderate temperature, good visibility and minimal

cloud cover during most of the year. The airspace in the Salalah area is not congested, and

therefore it is recommended to be WFP’s base for air operations in Yemen.

Below is a list of airports in Oman; those printed in bold indicate the airport has regularly

scheduled commercial air services.. Only the airports of Muscat and Salalah currently operate

incoming and outgoing international flights.

Milling Company - SALALAH MILLS CO. (S.A.O.G) & SALALAH MACARONI CO. SAOG

The mill in Salalah has a capacity of 1,500Mt per day. The mill used to regularly export to

Yemen and Sonmalia, though has focused primarily on domestic consumption. The mill is

located a few kilometers from the port. The transfer of grain from the vessels into the mill silos

is performed by trucks. New silos are currently being built to augment the mill capacity.

Oman - Limited LCA

Version 9 64

The mill also owns a pasta production plant that is connected with pipes for the transfer of the

flour directly from the mill to the production plant. The pasta production is almost exclusively

destined for export (99%), to West and East Africa, Brazil and Europe. Most shipments are on

an FOB basis and the packing is done at the premises. The plant is top of the range and

computerized. There are four production lines;

Production is 5Mt per hour for long pasta and 3Mt per day for short pasta. Both the mill and the

pasta production plants are of excellent standard: HACCP compliant, Swiss made, and they

use the latest technologies. The extraction rate is 70 to 75%. Fortification formulas can be

adjusted and, together with bag printing, requires a week or two to start production. To ensure

compliancy with Yemeni standards, the standard fortification utilizes iron and folic acid.

Milling Company - OMAN FLOUR MILLS MUSCAT

The mill has large capacity on wheat without any restrictions, but is fully booked for wheat flour.

Approximately 96% of the mill production is for the local market, although the mill was recently

importing both wheat and wheat flour directly to Yemen on break bulk. OCO recently shipped

wheat flour to Yemen.

The mill has silos at Qaboos port (Muscat) close from their factory / mills. The port is no longer

operating commercially for containers or break bulk. However, as the mill is still importing the

raw materials in bulk from Australia / Russian to Oman through Qabos.

The mill also has the facility to produce date bars, and fortunately has all of the equipment

required. The mill currently produces energy bars.

If needed for operations in Yemen, WFP could obtain permission to ship cargo in BB from

Qaboos directly to Yemen.
