The transaction, executed in partnership with Orient Group and Uzbek-Oman Investment Company (UzOman), establishes a vital bridge connecting Oman’s ports and logistics infrastructure to Central Asia’s evolving trade corridors, positioning Asyad as a key player to enable seamless cargo flows between China, Europe, the Middle East, and neighboring Central Asian economies.

The acquisition secures Asyad’s ownership of critical freight gateways, including Universal Logistics Services (ULS) and Highway Logistics Center (HLC). Strategically positioned within Tashkent’s freight network, these assets capture approximately 25% of Uzbekistan’s railway container traffic and secure a dominant share in the premium warehousing segment. By integrating these inland multimodal terminals into its global network, Asyad establishes the operational infrastructure necessary to link Central Asian cargo flows directly to Oman’s ports, strengthening both the region’s logistics capabilities and Oman’s role as a global logistics hub.
