Basra Gateway Terminal welcomes return of Iraqi Shipping Line

Basra Gateway Terminal (BGT) welcomed the return of the Iraqi Shipping Line, with a recent vessel call marking the national carrier’s renewed presence at Umm Qasr after years of absence from the market.

The call reconnects the national fleet with Iraq’s trade community and reflects ongoing efforts to strengthen Iraq’s shipping industry and restore the carrier’s role in regional trade.

For BGT and the wider maritime community, the return marks a step toward rebuilding the national carrier’s presence in Iraq’s ports.
