Shipment Arrival Nodes
Umm Qasr, Khor Al Zubair, Abu Floos and Maqal – As a major alliance partner of selected port operators we enjoy preferential commercials and reliable port services.
Basra, Najaf & Baghdad – With committed space on scheduled aircrafts and years of experience in handling both commercial and levy exempt shipment our team in Iraq arrange customs clearance within 2 – 4 days and arrange delivery promptly.
Our decades long experience of moving road freight shipments assisted us in developing regular road freight services for LTL & FLT shipments by cross loading of Iraq bound shipments at Safwan border.
AZKA has proven its expertise in processing levy exempt shipments from all governing authorities. Our decades-long association with major vessel owners enables us to optimize freight rates with selected carriers for part charters, time charters and voyage charters. With daily updated schedules and routings of vessels having capacity ranges between 2,000 DWT to 80,000 DWT along with lifting capacities up to 500 MT, we add value by connecting secured loads to right vessels and eventually providing a win-win situation to both, cargo and vessel owners.
We offer competitive rates on major carriers with direct sailings to Iraq. Also, to strengthen our product range from Dubai we use SOC, NVOCC, MLO general purpose and special containers (20’ & 40’ std, 20’, 40’, 45’ Open tops, heavy duty and flat rack containers). Our dedicated slots on selected feeders ensure service reliability, cost competitiveness and accessibility to less congested terminals with fast turnaround time.
