Progetti

The Musandam Peninsula is the northernmost part of Oman jetting out into the Strait of Hormuz at the entrance to the Persian Gulf. In line with fishery harbours development program undertaken by the Omani Government, a fishery harbour at Lima in Musandam Governorate was designed to be all weather harbour protected for traditional and commercial fishing crafts with modern facilities for development envisaged in a ten year plan.

The overall objectives of this project are to achieve the following:

• Increase the value-added component of the catch through expansion and quality improvement of handling, processing and marketing activities for both the domestic and international markets;
• Creating a modern Omani fishery fleet capable of exploiting, on a sustainable basis, offshore fish resources beyond the range of the traditional fleet;
• Maintaining viable fishery communities through improvements to local landing facilities and to community living standards;
• Providing the institutions with capabilities to manage and develop the fishery sector effectively
• Ensuring that the private sector (both individual and corporative) is able to participate fully in the expansion of the fishery industry.

The Port is expected to extend facilities for: Developed Fishery Activities; ROP & Coast Guard requirements; Tourism; Ferry Service; Trade, etc

Services provided by Sering International

• Concept master plan and Feasibility study;
• Hydrodynamic studies,
• Surveys and investigations;
• Suggesting remedial measures and assess alternatives to reduce the wave disturbance around the harbour;
• Incorporate the additional requirements in tourism and ferry service and identify the recommended solution;
• Preliminary and Detailed design of the finalized alternative for construction and its related works;
• EIA,
• Tender documents, bidders evaluation,
• Construction supervision and Assistance during maintenance period.

A Mathematical / Numerical Modelling has been developed. The analysis has been divided in three sub-models:

• Wave modelling study: with the scope to define offshore and nearshore wave climate, with reference to standard and cyclonic conditions
• Sediment study: aiming at investigating the impact of the new harbor on the coastal dynamics
• Wave disturbance study: investigating the wave penetration inside the harbor and verifying the compliance with the specific wave thresholds.
