Environment

Environmental Sustainability is important. For this reason, the Ministry of Environment and Climate Affairs operates a dedicated branch for the Port and Freezone Sohar; the Sohar Environmental Unit or SEU. The SEU acts as the front-office of the Ministry thereby enabling efficient and transparent processes. All Freezone Working Companies are required to conduct an Environmental study of their projects, either in the form of an Environmental Review (a basic report on the environmental issues) or an Environmental Impact Assessment (a comprehensive environmental study executed by an approved consultant).

Since it potentially influences timelines, Freezone Sohar will ensure clarity on the report type in the prospective phase. More details on these reports can be found in the respective SEU guidance notes from the download section.

The One Stop Shop will guide all investors in this process.
