Iraq - Iraq South Terminal
The Iraq South Terminal (IST) is situated in the South port of Umm Qasr on Berth 4, Gulftainer began operations in November 2018 working in conjunction with Manarat Umm Qasr a locally based marine services company.
The southern port was constructed during the 1940s. The port offers bonded storage for containers only. The Iraqi Port Authorities (IPA) in 2018 are in the process of removing all covered warehouses in the port; for private cargo, all services and equipment are provided by private terminal operators. The IPA has created a new “electronic gate” control system for calling, stevedoring and invoicing vessels. This system is operated and monitored from a control room that tracks vessel movements and can review the paperwork converted to the electronic system.
IST can offer customers best in class performance, excellent customer service and proven port processes from Gulftainer’s vast experience going back to 1976.
The terminal has direct access to the main Basrah Highway and to the major oil fields in Southern Iraq, and is close to the Umm Qasr Logistics Centre. It has a secured and dedicated entrance from the main highway with controlled movement of vehicles, with on-site customs clearance and safe, secure general cargo storage areas.
