As new opportunities for foreign trade arise, importers and exporters in Iraq are calling for more reliable cargo transport services to neighbouring countries

– with the regular, on-time port calls and professional terminal services international traders require to grow their business.

Now, Maersk Line is very pleased to announce a new dedicated feeder
service between Jebel Ali (UAE) and Umm Qasr (South Port terminal),
linking Iraq to trading partners in the region and beyond.

Own vessels and berthing facility *

The new service offers major improvements over existing services. A
Maersk-owned US Flag vessel will be deployed on the rotation, offering
all the operational reliability you expect from Maersk Line. And our
own dedicated, scheduled berthing facility will ensure on-time port
calls and reduce the risk of delays.

Dedicated terminal services *

The service also includes Kuwaiti-operated terminal services dedicated
to Maersk Line. This will enable us to consolidate all our operations
to a single container yard and provide highly professional terminal
services.

We will commence operations in the beginning of November with the first
call at Umm Qasr scheduled for 14 November, and new services including
reefer acceptance, inland haulage and our own sales representation
planned for the near future.
