Specialized Sectors

Transportation and Logistics

The transport and logistics sector is the backbone of trade and services in the Sultanate of Oman. It is one of the most regulated sectors, characterized by complex contractual responsibilities. Whether in land transport between governorates, maritime shipping through commercial ports, or air transport involving airlines and ground handling services, legal challenges range from liability for delay or damage to contract structuring and navigating customs and insurance regulations.

At B&Co, we have in-depth knowledge of all stages of the supply chain. We strive to protect the interests of our clients—including shipping companies, freight forwarders, importers, and exporters—through prompt legal solutions grounded in a practical understanding of this vital sector.
