Khor Al Amaya Oil Terminal (IQKAA)

Iraq | UN/LOCODE: IQKAA | Oil terminal | Coordinates supplied: 29.7833333, 48.8166667

Khor Al Amaya Oil Terminal, commonly referred to as KAAOT, is an Iraqi offshore oil export terminal located southeast of the Al Faw Peninsula in the Persian Gulf. Together with the Al Basrah Oil Terminal, it forms part of Iraq’s principal marine oil-export infrastructure. Its logistics profile is fundamentally different from that of a container or multipurpose commercial port: cargo acceptance, vessel nomination, berthing, transfer operations, documentation and access are generally controlled by terminal, oil-sector and maritime procedures. Our service team therefore treats IQKAA as a project-specific liquid-bulk call rather than a standard FCL, LCL or general-cargo destination. The supplied port record shows no routine FCL, LCL or automobile service counts.

Key Highlights

Specialized port typeOil export terminal serving marine liquid-bulk movements, not a conventional container gateway.
Strategic locationPositioned southeast of the Al Faw Peninsula in the Persian Gulf, with offshore terminal characteristics.
Restricted cargo scopeRoutine dry-container, LCL, vehicle and warehouse assumptions should not be applied without written confirmation.
Approval-led operationTerminal acceptance, vessel suitability, nomination and maritime clearance must be confirmed before committing cargo or sailing plans.

Facilities & Services

Marine transferOil loading and transfer activities are associated with the terminal function. Availability, operating windows and connection arrangements require direct terminal or nominated-operator confirmation.
Container handlingIQKAA should not be presented as a regular container terminal. FCL or LCL bookings require validation of an alternative Iraqi gateway and onward delivery plan.
Dry cargo facilitiesGeneral-cargo berths, public warehouses, reefer plugs, stuffing and stripping services must not be assumed for this offshore oil-terminal location.
Access and securityMarine access, personnel access, pilotage, security controls and service-boat arrangements are subject to terminal and competent-authority approval.
Our coordination scopeOur service team can coordinate cargo classification, vessel or terminal enquiry, document review and alternative-port planning before any operational commitment.

Routes & Transit Times

  • Typical trade logic is seaborne crude-oil export from southern Iraq through the Persian Gulf; the applicable vessel, loading sequence and destination are determined by the cargo owner, terminal and nominated carrier.
  • For non-oil cargo, the practical routing may involve a separately confirmed Iraqi commercial port followed by road delivery, rather than a direct IQKAA call.
  • No fixed sailing frequency, direct service, transit time or carrier allocation should be promised for IQKAA without a current nomination and written operational confirmation.
  • Schedule risk is influenced by terminal acceptance, vessel compatibility, weather, security procedures, pilotage, inspection, documentation clearance and destination restrictions.

Hinterland & Key Cargo

Primary cargoCrude oil and associated liquid-bulk export movements are the defining cargo profile of KAAOT.
Economic hinterlandThe terminal is linked to Iraq’s southern oil-export system and the production, gathering and export chain around Basra and the Al Faw area.
Project and maintenance cargoEquipment, spares, pipes, valves, pumps and other oilfield or marine-maintenance materials may require a separately approved logistics route.
Containerized cargoContainer freight should normally be planned through a confirmed commercial gateway, with final-mile feasibility checked before quotation.

Operations & Compliance

  • Booking and nomination: Obtain written confirmation of terminal acceptance, cargo owner instructions, vessel nomination, loading window and required notices before fixing a sailing or truck plan.
  • Dangerous goods: Crude oil and petroleum-related cargo require accurate UN classification, SDS, flash-point information, quantity, packing or containment details and applicable marine dangerous-goods documentation. Final requirements must be checked against the current terminal and carrier instructions.
  • Documents: Align commercial invoice, certificate of origin, cargo-quality documents, bill-of-lading instructions, export approvals and vessel particulars. Names, quantities, grades and parties must be consistent across all documents.
  • Inland delivery: Do not assume routine truck access to an offshore terminal. For equipment or project cargo, confirm the receiving commercial port, customs route, security escort, road restrictions and delivery location separately.

Shipping Tips

  1. Send our service team the commodity, grade, SDS, quantity, Incoterm, vessel type, loading range, destination and consignee details at the quotation stage.
  2. For oil cargo, reserve only against a documented nomination and terminal acceptance; keep laycan, demurrage, inspection and quality clauses aligned with the charter-party or sales contract.
  3. For machinery, spares or project cargo, request a route study before booking. We can compare a confirmed Iraqi commercial port with suitable road delivery and customs arrangements.
  4. Use seaworthy packing, corrosion protection and lifting marks for oilfield equipment, and obtain written confirmation of dimensions, weight limits, lifting points and receiving capability.

All sailing, handling, clearance, security and inland arrangements remain subject to current terminal, carrier, Iraqi authority and destination-country approval.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can we book a standard FCL shipment directly to IQKAA?

Usually this should not be assumed. IQKAA is identified as an oil terminal, not a regular container gateway. Our team will first verify acceptance; otherwise we will assess a confirmed commercial port and inland route.

Is IQKAA suitable for crude-oil exports?

Its documented role is Iraqi oil export infrastructure. Cargo owner instructions, terminal approval, vessel suitability, loading documentation and applicable maritime requirements must be confirmed for each shipment.

Can you quote a fixed transit time or sailing schedule?

Not without a current vessel nomination and operating plan. Weather, terminal windows, security, inspection, pilotage and clearance can materially change the schedule.

What information is needed for an equipment shipment?

Provide dimensions, gross weight, packing list, HS codes, lifting points, cargo value, SDS where relevant, consignee location, delivery deadline and the proposed receiving port. This allows our team to test route and handling feasibility.

Data Sources & Provenance

Hard identifiers, UN/LOCODE, port name, country, city, coordinates and the stated oil-terminal description are taken from the supplied IQKAA port master record. No unverified berth count, draft, throughput, storage capacity, equipment inventory, tariff, sailing frequency or transit-time figure is asserted.

For current maritime, petroleum and international shipping context, our service team recommends cross-checking applicable information with recognized authorities and industry sources, including imo.org and eia.gov. These references are contextual sources; terminal acceptance, operational windows, security procedures and cargo permissions must be confirmed with the current nominated operator and competent Iraqi authorities.
