The CMA CGM Group announced the opening on April 30th of its newly renovated deep water quay in Umm Qasr port. This quay is dedicated exclusively to CMA CGM vessels and equipped with the most modern cargo-handling facilities thus allowing CMA CGM a complete autonomy in the handling of its containers into and out of Iraq.

Thanks to these new facilities and for the first time in Iraq, CMA CGM will be able to offer to its customers a direct reefer service.

These new infrastructures and services will strengthen CMA CGM leading position on the Iraqi market and will allow its customers to further develop their own activities in Iraq through these modern facilities.

The CMA CGM Group offers a weekly service from Umm Qasr port to Khor Fakkan - UAE (two vessels of 880 TEU) providing worldwide connections to main CMA CGM services.

Present in Iraq since 1978 without interruption, CMA CGM has three offices in Baghdad, Basra and Umm Qasr and offers door-to-door transport solutions to and from Iraq.
