Subcontractors from other countries visit ODC The Dock yard in Duqm attracted about 30 companies in 3 groups from Dubai and Bahrain last month. The delegations visited the ODC site between the 17th and 30th January in three different batches. The main purpose of their visit was to scan the facility and get a better understanding of the services which will be provided for ship repairs and maintenance. To their amazement, they got to see very high standards of facilities that include accommodation, restaurants, recreation, entertainment as well as the development of state of the art warehouses, stores, offices, and repairing centers. It becomes necessary for subcontractors to visit the dockyard and give their feedback along with their prequalification document to enable ODC to rate and progress on establishing any further business contracts.
