Hama Free Zone and Dry Port

A project to establish an integrated industrial, commercial and logistics free zone with a dry port in Hama Governorate, under study by the General Authority for Ports and Customs together with Hama Governorate, to develop the investment environment and facilitate exports.

Location

The proposed site lies west of Kafr Buhum, about 18 km from the city of Hama. On 12 July 2026 a delegation from the General Authority for Ports and Customs toured the proposed site, reviewed the allocated land and discussed the technical and logistical aspects and implementation mechanisms, allowing for future expansion.

Components and Expected Benefits

• An industrial, commercial and logistics free zone with customs and tax exemptions under free zone regulations.
• An integrated dry port for storage, shipping and supply-chain services, easing pressure on seaports and simplifying customs clearance.
• Linking trade flows between governorates and seaports, building on Hama's location and its road and rail networks.

Industrial Needs Survey

On 1 October 2026 Hama Chamber of Industry invited industrialists and investors to complete an online survey identifying the space and activities they expect to need in the project. The survey creates no obligations for any party; its purpose is to analyse the actual needs of industrialists.

Current Stage

The project is at the study and needs-assessment stage, ahead of its approval.
