The Oman Methanol Company LLC (OMC) was formed in 2004 as a joint venture between Methanol Holdings International Limited (MHIL) – a Proman affiliate – and Oman Methanol Holding Company LLC. Proman became majority shareholder in 2023 in the plant which is located in the Sohar Port complex on the Gulf of Oman with access to global markets by sea.
The methanol plant began operation in December 2007 and currently produces more than 3,000 tonnes of methanol per day. The sales and marketing of OMC products is managed by Helm AG. OMC also has long-term time-charters for two vessels, the Gulf Elan and the Gulf Esprit.
