Sharjah-Oman logistics corridor handles $463m in first quarter
Truck movements exceeded 34,000 through Khatmat Malaha and Al Madam crossings in three months from May inauguration.
The Sharjah-Oman logistics corridor processed approximately $463 million in cargo value during its first three months of operation following its May 17, 2026 inauguration. Truck movements through the corridor exceeded 34,000, while customs declarations surpassed 32,000 during the period. The corridor recorded a 66.26 percent increase in cargo value compared to the corresponding period in the previous year.
Border crossing infrastructure connects port network#
The corridor operates through two border crossings: Khatmat Malaha Border Crossing in Kalba and Al Madam Border Crossing. Both crossings link cargo flows between Sharjah's ports and logistics facilities with destinations in Oman. The system connects Sharjah's port infrastructure with Sohar, Duqm and Salalah ports in Oman. Mohammed Ibrahim Al Raisi, Director of Border Crossings and Entry Points Affairs at Sharjah Ports, Customs and Free Zones Authority, stated that the results reflect the integration of land border crossings with port and free zone capabilities.
Importer registration expands during initial operation#
More than 200 new importer codes were registered during the corridor's first months of operation. The registration expansion accompanied the growth in cargo throughput and truck movements. The corridor provides businesses with routing options for imports, exports and re-exports between the UAE and Oman. The dual-crossing structure gives operators two routes for moving goods through the system.
Sea-land model links ports with border crossings#
The corridor connects cargo flows between ports and logistics hubs via the Khatmat Malaha Border Crossing in Kalba and Al Madam Border Crossing, extending into Oman. The system links seaports with land border crossings. The corridor serves importers, exporters, freight companies and logistics service providers operating between UAE and Omani markets. The corridor forms part of a logistics and customs ecosystem linking Sharjah's location with regional trade routes.
