Starting out as a modest-sized operator in 1990, the company has since grown by leaps and bounds over the past two decades, boasting a presence that now spans much of the Gulf region. In addition to growing its footprint and capabilities, Sultan’s Logistics has also diversified its service offerings to include general cargo haulage, crane and forklift services, commuter bussing operations, fuel and water tanker operations, and Muscat based warehousing facilities. “We are constantly evolving to meet our clients’ needs, and that’s a core component of our commercial success,” says Nicholas Evans, General Manager. “With such a strong transport network in development, companies such as ours will naturally assume the mantle of “preferred supplier” for many new clients. Our reputation, built over a number of years now will stand us in good stead. We have always been ready to invest in our future success and we will continue to do so.” Evidence of Sultan’s Logistics’ superior standing in the logistics industry is demonstrated by the following aspects of its operations: - Four years’ outstanding service to Oman Air supplying crew change buses. Through this 100 per cent Omanised contract, the company continues to demonstrate its commitment to promoting the Omani workforce. - Provider of 3PL transportation services to PDO

Explaining the company’s customer-centric philosophy, the General Manager states: “Our customer is key. We give them what they want, when they want, no questions asked. Our ability to adapt quickly has been a core aspect of our longevity. We have specialized through diversity in our operations.” Over the years, Sultan’s Logistics has built up a formidable fleet of transport vehicles, heavy life equipment, and passenger coaches primarily oriented at its mainstay oil and gas customers. Included in its assets are 30 cranes, as well as specialist oilfield equipment for rig moving coupled with heavy lift capability. “We further provide specialist cargo haulage with
bespoke solutions, project dependent. We have the capability to transport passengers through our fleet of luxury coaches. We are a one stop shop for all of your transportation needs. We pride ourselves on attention to detail and every customer counts no matter how big or small,” said Evans. The business outlook for growth is very bright, sustained in large part by the enormous investments being made by the government in infrastructure development, as well as other investment inflows into Oman and the wider region. “We expect steady, continual growth as more investment pours in to the region. The Government is taking a positive stance and attracting larger companies to the region. We have seen huge global PLC’s move into Oman’s Oil and Gas sector recently and the demand for specialist transportation will continue for years to come,” he added.
