Oman ranks first globally in Export Supply Chain Start-Up Index

The Sultanate of Oman has achieved remarkable global and regional standings in the World Bank's 2025 Logistics Performance Index (LPI) report. Notably, Oman secured the top global position in the "Export Supply Chain Start-Up" indicator, completing the process in an unprecedented 0.8 days.

This outstanding performance underscores the efficiency of Oman's logistics infrastructure and the speed of its trade procedures. The LPI measures the entire cycle time for an empty container, from departure to its return loaded and ready for export, reflecting the high operational efficiency and rapid container handling at Omani ports.

Further demonstrating its logistical prowess, Oman ranked ninth globally out of 165 countries in the "Import Supply Chain Completion" index. This metric assesses the time from container delivery to the consumer until its empty return to the warehouse, indicating smooth import operations and efficient goods flow.

At the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) level, Oman also secured strong positions, ranking second in "Export Containers Remaining in Port Time" and third in "Direct Shipping Lines Services." The country also placed 25th globally and second in the GCC for "Number of Shipping Alliances" and 39th globally and third in the Gulf for "Number of Direct Shipping Connectivity Partners."
