Port Sultan Qaboos (previously known as Mina Qaboos)[1] is the largest port in Muscat, Oman. Developed initially as a part of a plan for a "Greater Muttrah" by Qaboos bin Said al Said's predecessor, Said bin Taimur, the port's construction was completed in the 1970s.[2] The port is operated and managed by Port Services Corporation S.A.O.G.


The Ministry of Transport and Communications announced that as of 31 August 2014[update], the port would cease commercial operations, preceding its transformation into a cruise ship port.[3] Cargo operations are shifting to Sohar Industrial Port in Sohar.[3] The government has cited congested road traffic in Muscat as a reason for the move.[3]


Port Sultan Qaboos is the home port of the Oman Royal Yacht Squadron.
