“The facility is now open for use by customers, and traders operating from the fish market. As a result of this initiative the unpaved open space in front of the Muttrah Fish Market will be closed,” a Muscat Municipality official mentioned.
“The unpaved location utilized by vehicles earlier was not a appropriate choice.
“Now, this new paved parking lot behind the Muttrah Fish Market has a capacity of more than 100 vehicles,” he mentioned.
“The municipality has also created provision for fish traders to drain off excess water whilst transporting catch to the industry.
“The drainage facility will ensure that excess water from ice that is used when transporting catch does not leak in the parking area. This will help ensure cleanliness,” the official mentioned. “Earlier, excess water from fish transporting vehicles would leak onto the parking lot, thus making the place smelly. We have also built toilets for people visiting the market.” The unpaved parking lot will be closed as municipality has various plans for that region, he mentioned.
