for all those who are jumping up and down for nothing (from all three sides) plz read these excerpts

Port of Duqm lies under the management of Port of Duqm Company SAOC, a 50:50 joint venture between the Omani Government and the Consortium Antwerp Port (CAP). CAP is supported by the Port of Antwerp (Belgium), one of Europe’s largest hub ports. Under an agreement signed with the Omani government in April 2011, the joint venture has been granted a 28-year concession to co-invest, operate, manage and market the Port of Duqm.

In a similar vein, the Sultanate may well take advantage of China and India's competitive relationship by making itself useful to both Beijing and New Delhi's transregional trade corridors, which will depend on Oman as an important hub for global trade.

Oman’s Special Economic Zone Authority at Duqm (Sezad) yesterday (April 19) celebrated the laying of the foundation stone for the China-Oman Industrial Park in Duqm, a project with investments expected to cross $10 billion till 2022, said a report.

In August 2017, Oman signed an MoU with the United Kingdom that allowed the Royal Navy to use the Port of Duqm. The agreement allows UK access to facilities at Duqm, and among the vessels that will be allowed to dock at the port is the HMS Queen Elizabeth aircraft carrier, the largest ship in the British Navy.

Duqm is marketing its location as a major attraction – not only its proximity to maritime trade routes, but the fact that it lies outside the Strait of Hormuz, which could insulate it from conflict if regional tensions rise.
