A brand new railway within the Gulf can be constructed by a consortium made up of German rail signalling and rolling inventory producer Siemens Mobility and its native companion Hassan Allam Building, in accordance with a brand new contract.

Oman – Etihad Rail is a three way partnership owned by the governments of Oman and the United Arab Emirates, tasked with delivering the East-West rail challenge from Abu Dhabi to Sohar.

The 303km line is a part of a wider challenge to attach the members of the Gulf Cooperation Council.

The Siemens Mobility and Hassan Allam Building consortium will ship the design, construct and integration of the ETCS Stage 2 signaling, telecom and energy provide methods for the primary line of the community challenge.

In any other case referred to as Hafeet Rail, the road will join the Omani port metropolis Sohar with the UAE Nationwide Railway community, which already connects the seven emirates that make up the UAE.

Though elevated tourism is a purpose of the challenge, the best precedence of the brand new hyperlink is commerce and to “increase the effectivity of the provision chain system”.
