Indian Ocean alt berthing232 km from Hormuz, straight lineLive AIS
On Oman's Indian Ocean coast, well south of the strait. Receives traffic that opts to skip the Hormuz transit entirely or that diverts during restricted phases. Industrial complex and free zone make it a viable alternative for cargo that would otherwise call at Jebel Ali or Bandar Abbas.
Live AIS
We have no usable AIS reading for this port right now: either computeAisAggregates has not written a bucket yet, or the radius around this berth has returned nothing at all for more than two days, which we treat as missing coverage rather than a count of zero. Counts return here once vessels register inside the radius again.
