Muscat – The Public Authority for Special Economic Zones and Free Zones (OPAZ) announced on Tuesday the launch of two new services on the electronic portal of the Special Economic Zone at Duqm (SEZAD).

In this regard, Eng Ahmed bin Harib al Balushi, in-charge of managing operations of the Control and Compliance Sector at OPAZ, said, “The first service comes as an inventory of chemicals, while the second is forming an inventory of hazardous waste. Introducing these two services comes post completing the electronic system for managing chemicals and hazardous waste in the Special Economic Zone at Duqm”.

According to a press release, this endeavour comes in line with the digital transformation programme implemented in the zones overseen by OPAZ. This reflects its continuous efforts to automate the procedures related to investors.

“Both services contribute to achieving the proper management of hazardous chemicals and waste, as well as facilitating the procedures for investors when sending their periodic reports about data and information on hazardous chemicals and waste. Moreover, these services will serve providing information to the relevant government and private bodies in Oman about data related to chemicals and waste, both in terms of its types, quantities, or importing countries, the purpose of dealing with them, in addition to the classification of waste, its quantities, source, and methods of treatment”, Balushi commented.

The system also helps in saving time and effort, increasing efficiency, and establishing a national inventory for hazardous chemicals in SEZAD.
