From THE HINDU group of publications Saturday, November 03, 2001 Oman Govt set to pick 50% equity in Greenfield Shipping P.Manoj NEW DELHI, Nov. 2 THE crisis facing Greenfield Shipping Company has blown over with the Government of Oman rescuing the joint venture consortium from the hands of the lenders by deciding to pick up close to 50 per cent stake as well as agreeing to sign a long-term time charter agreement for chartering LNG Laxmi for 20 years. The Government of Oman is expected to invest $ 27.5 million in Greenfield Shipping Company for acquiring the 50 per cent stake, sources familiar with the developments told Business Line." The negotiations with Oman Government are over and the agreement will be signed soon ", the sources said. With this, the stage is finally set for Enron-affiliate Atlantic Commercial Inc.to exit from Greenfield by selling its 20 per cent stake and also for Japan's Mitsui O.S.K.Lines to dilute a portion of its 60 per cent holding in the consortium in favour of the new charterer. Consequently, the time charter party agreement signed between Greenfield and the original charterer_ Dabhol Power Company (DPC) will be scrapped. Significantly, Oman LNG was contracted as the main supplier of LNG to DPC.

From THE HINDU group of publications Thursday, December 13, 2001 Greenfield to go for `step-up' charter rate with Oman P. Manoj NEW DELHI, Dec. 12 GREENFIELD Shipping Company has decided to opt for the step-up charter rate system with Oman Government for deploying its 1,37,000 cubic metre capacity tanker LNG Laxmi build originally for the troubled Enron-promoted Dabhol Power Company (DPC). For the first five years of the time charter agreement set to be signed between Greenfield and the new charterer Oman Government, the time charter hire rate would be below $ 70,000 per day. Between the fifth and tenth year, the time charter rates will go up to a little over $ 80,000 per day. Beyond the 10th year, there will be another charter rate. In fact, the rates being firmed up for this period will be as good as the rates which was agreed upon for the DPC shipping contract at $ 98,600 per day, sources involved in the exercise said. While the promoters of Greenfield took delivery of the LNG tanker on November 15, the original charterer DPC has defaulted on chartering the vessel due to the on-going controversy surrounding the power plant. Of the three original promoters, SCI is still in the fray with a 20 per cent stake. Enron-affiliate Atlantic Commercial Inc has sold its 20 per cent equity to Oman Government, which also picked up another 20 per cent from Mitsui O.S.K. Lines share of 60 per cent. The Oman Government and Mitsui now have 40 per cent equity each in the LNG shipping venture.

Home page Arab Info Oman Info Oman History ... Links to Oman Oman - Government In February 1980 Sultan Qaboos agreed, in principle, to the future use by US forces of Masirah Island, off the east coast of Oman, as an emergency military base. Oman and Iran established an economic co-operation committee in March 1989, and in September 1992 the two signed an agreement to increase economic co-operation and trade, particularly in the transport and shipping sectors. In response to the invasion of Kuwait by Iraq in August 1990, Oman, together with the other members of the GCC, gave its support to the deployment of a US-led defensive force in Saudi Arabia. The Omani Government expressed the view that the imposition of international economic sanctions would compel Iraq to withdraw from Kuwait. In November there was evidence that Oman had attempted to mediate in the crisis, when the Iraqi Minister of Foreign Affairs, Tareq Aziz, visited Oman (the first official Iraqi visit to a GCC state, other than Kuwait, since the Gulf crisis began). Oman was one of the last bastions of the Middle Ages under a reigning sultan, Said bin Taimur, who sought to isolate the country from contaminating modern influence. Muscat was still literally a walled city, its gates closed and locked at sundown.

Government Institutions Persian Gulf States Table of Contents Government institutions on the national level include the Council of Ministers and two other bodies: the National Defense Council and the National Development Council. In 1992 the Council of Ministers had twenty-seven members, including the prime minister and three deputy prime ministersfor security and defense, legal affairs, and financial and economic affairs. The sultan occupied the sensitive posts of prime minister, minister of defense, minister of foreign affairs, and minister of finance. Sultan Qabus ibn Said controls all ministerial appointments and cabinet reshuffles. Policy formulation remains largely the product of person-to-person negotiations between the sultan and individual ministers. The National Defense Council, working in conjunction with the Ministry of Defense and the Ministry of Interior, coordinates the activities of the Royal Armed Forces (formerly called the Sultan's Armed Forces) and the Royal Oman Police. The National Development Council manages national development planning, and all projects involving more than a certain minimum expenditure require its review. Consultative Council In 1991 Qabus established the Consultative Council (Majlis ash Shura), a sixty-member body. The Consultative Council superseded the fifty-five-member State Consultative Council (SCC; Majlis al Istishari lil Dawlah) created in 1981 with significant regional and popular as well as official representation.

Government and Politics Persian Gulf States Table of Contents Historical Patterns of Governance Until 1970 the political title for the Al Said rulers was sultan of Muscat and Oman, implying two historically irreconcilable political cultures: the coastal tradition, the more cosmopolitan, secular, Muscat tradition of the coast ruled by the sultan; and the interior tradition of insularity, tribal in origin and ruled by an imam according to the ideological tenets of Ibadism. The more cosmopolitan has been the ascending political culture since the founding of the Al Said dynasty in 1744, although the imamate tradition has found intermittent expression. Several millennia ago, Arab tribes migrated eastward to Oman, coinciding with the increasing presence in the region of peoples from present-day Iran. In the sixth century, Arabs succeeded in repelling encroachments of these ethnic groups; the conversion of Arab tribes to Islam in the seventh century resulted in the displacement of the settlers from Iran. The introduction of Ibadism vested power in the imam, the leader nominated by tribal shaykhs and then elected by public acclamation. The Al Said dynasty was founded when Ahmad ibn Said Al Said was elected imam following the expulsion of the Iranians from Muscat in 1744. Like its predecessors, Al Said dynastic rule has been characterized by a history of internecine family struggle, fratricide, and usurpation. Apart from threats within the ruling family, there was the omnipresent challenge from the independent tribes of the interior who rejected the authority of the sultan, recognizing the imam as the sole legitimate leader and pressing, by resort to arms, for the restoration of the imamate.

Home World Map Rankings Currency Converter Countries from A to Z A B C D ... Oman (Notes) Oman - Government and Political Conditions (Notes) GOVERNMENT AND POLITICAL CONDITIONS Sultan Qaboos bin Sa'id rules with the aid of his ministers. His dynasty, the Al Sa'id, was founded about 250 years ago by Imam Ahmed bin Sa'id. The sultan is a direct descendant of the l9th century ruler, Sa'id bin Sultan, who first opened relations with the United States in 1833. The Sultanate has neither political parties nor legislature, although the bicameral representative bodies provide the government with advice. Oman's judicial system traditionally has been based on the Shari'athe Koranic laws and the oral teachings of the Islamic Prophet Muhammad. Traditionally, Shari'a courts fell under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Justice, Awqaf, and Islamic Affairs. Oman's first criminal code was not enacted until 1974. The current structure of the criminal court system was established in 1984 and consists of a magistrate court in the capital and four additional magistrate courts in Sohar, Sur, Salalah, and Nizwa. In the less-populated areas and among the nomadic bedouin, tribal custom often is the law. Recent royal decrees have placed the entire court systemmagistrates, commercial, shari'a and civil courtsunder the control of the Ministry of Justice. An independent Office of the Public Prosecutor also has been created (formerly a part of the Royal Oman Police), and a supreme court is under formation. Regional court complexes are envisioned to house the various courts, including the courts of first instance for criminal cases and Shariah cases (family law and inheritance).
