Ever since the start of the illegal siege of Qatar, the country has been opening up new trade routes with different countries around the world.

And now, there are more reasons to cheer as a brand new shipping line, between Qatar, Oman and Kuwait, is set to be launched soon.

The operations will be carried out by Qatar’s Hamad Port, Oman’s Sohar Port and Kuwait’s Shuwaikh Port, reported Qatar Tribune.

The shipping line is set to be flagged off on Monday, December 24, at 10 am.

The ship is expected to transport both goods and passengers. Around 250 passengers can be accommodated on the ship, and they will have extensive facilities onboard including a cinema hall, games hall, free market, restaurants and cafes. 

The vessel is also expected to accommodate around 700 cars.
