AD Ports, GWC roll out new Gulf logistics connections

AD Ports launches UAE-Iraq link

AD Ports opens weekly UAE-Iraq shipping link: AD Ports Group has launched an integrated logistics service linking Khalifa Port and Iraq’s Umm Qasr Port, centered on a direct weekly container and Ro-Ro sailing. The company says it has put in place storage, handling, and cargo-movement capabilities at both ports, with the route intended to support trade flows between Iraq, the UAE, and the wider GCC, the Levant, Turkey, and Europe.

GWC’s new cargo bridge

Qatar’s GWC has launched an air-to-land logistics corridor that transfers cargo arriving at Hamad International Airport into sealed trucks for distribution across Qatar, Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Kuwait, Oman, and Bahrain. The TIR-enabled model moves under a single customs document, positioning Doha as a redistribution point for time-sensitive cargo and offering a cheaper end-to-end air freight alternative.
