According to Amac News: The company said that the contract to supply an advanced fleet of freight wagons has also been awarded to China Railway Rolling Stock Corporation (CRRC).
The agreements mark a major milestone in the implementation of the Oman-UAE railway project, the statement said.
As part of its commitment to developing a world-class logistics network, Hafeet Rail has signed a strategic design and build contract with Larsen & Toubro (L&T) and Power China to build modern rail logistics facilities in Al Buraimi and Sohar.
Designed to meet global freight standards, the facilities will enable seamless movement and handling of bulk, containerized and breakbulk cargo, and enhance multimodal processing and connectivity efficiencies, according to Hift Rail.
In addition, the Sohar facility will include locomotive and wagon maintenance facilities that will ensure long-term asset reliability, optimize operational performance and enhance network resilience, reinforcing Oman’s role as a key hub on global trade corridors.
Hafeet Rail has also signed a contract with CRRC to design, engineer and supply a new generation of high-performance freight wagons.
Designed for multimodal compatibility, these wagons will seamlessly integrate into the Hafeet Rail network, optimizing freight movement for a variety of goods, including bulk and containerized cargo.
This contract demonstrates Hafeet Rail’s commitment to redefining rail freight efficiency, leveraging advanced rail vehicle technologies to increase capacity, network agility and long-term operational sustainability.
By investing in advanced rail solutions, Hafeet Rail is strengthening its position as a key enabler of innovation in logistics and trade connectivity in the region.
These new contracts will help develop Hafeet Rail’s current infrastructure and complement previous contracts that include civil works, signalling and control systems, locomotive supply and independent safety assessments. The company continues to execute its rail network development roadmap, ensuring that critical infrastructure components are deployed in a coordinated manner to maximise efficiency and scalability.
