IQKAZ · Iraq · Khor al Zubair

Port Overview

Khor al Zubair is a medium-sized Iraqi seaport serving general cargo, bulk cargo and fuel-oil movements. The port is located at approximately 30.190910° N, 47.882920° E and about 18 km downstream of Umm Qasr, placing it within the southern Iraq maritime logistics cluster. The supplied port data records a maximum permitted draught of 10.1 m, a maximum recorded vessel length of 250 m and maximum deadweight of 114,623 t. Tankers represent the dominant vessel type in the supplied traffic profile. For our platform, IQKAZ should be evaluated primarily as a project, bulk, liquid-bulk and breakbulk gateway rather than assumed to be a conventional container hub. Actual berth acceptance, cargo restrictions, pilotage and sailing conditions must be confirmed before booking.

Decision points for freight planning

Key Highlights

Bulk-oriented profile

General cargo, bulk cargo and fuel-oil products are more relevant than standard containerized exports.

Tanker-led traffic

The supplied profile assigns 88.49% of regular calling vessels to tankers, making liquid-cargo compliance central to planning.

Draft-sensitive access

The stated maximum draught is 10.1 m; vessel particulars, tide, channel restrictions and terminal approval require confirmation.

Southern Iraq connectivity

Its proximity to Umm Qasr supports coordinated road planning within the Basra-area port cluster, subject to local operational conditions.

Cargo handling and inland interface

Facilities & Services

General and bulk cargo: The port’s stated role supports breakbulk, dry bulk and other non-containerized cargo planning; cargo-specific handling capability must be checked before nomination.
Liquid bulk: Fuel-oil movements form a significant part of the supplied throughput profile. Our service team can coordinate product classification, tanker nomination and terminal acceptance checks.
Container cargo: The supplied record shows no FCL or LCL service count. Container shipments should therefore be confirmed case by case rather than treated as routine liner cargo.
Storage and staging: Warehouse, tank, open-yard and temporary staging availability depends on the cargo, terminal and consignee arrangement; obtain written confirmation before dispatch.
Inland transport: Road delivery is the practical planning interface for southern Iraq cargo. Vehicle access, escort requirements, permits and delivery windows should be checked against the final destination.

Routing logic without fixed service promises

Routes & Logistics Timing

International cargo is commonly planned through the Arabian Gulf maritime network, with transshipment or feeder arrangements selected according to cargo type, vessel acceptance and available carrier service.
Bulk, breakbulk and liquid cargo may move under voyage-charter, parcel, project or terminal-specific arrangements rather than standard container schedules.
Transit time is affected by transshipment selection, vessel nomination, channel and draft restrictions, customs release, berth congestion, documentation approval and inland security or access controls.
Our platform does not promise a fixed sailing frequency or transit time for IQKAZ. We obtain the current routing, cut-off, ETA and terminal window from the nominated carrier, broker or local agent before confirmation.

Southern Iraq cargo base

Hinterland & Key Cargo

Primary hinterland

The port serves southern Iraq, with logistics planning closely linked to the Basra and Umm Qasr area and onward inland destinations.

Liquid bulk

Fuel-oil products are specifically identified in the supplied port profile; dangerous-goods classification, tank compatibility and terminal acceptance are essential.

Dry bulk and breakbulk

General cargo and bulk cargo are core stated functions, suitable for selected industrial materials, machinery and non-containerized consignments after equipment confirmation.

Project and oversized cargo

Heavy or out-of-gauge shipments require route surveys, lifting plans, road permits and confirmation of berth, crane and yard limitations.

Control points before cargo release

Operations & Compliance

Booking and cut-offs: Do not rely on generic container cut-off practice. Obtain the terminal or vessel agent’s latest documentation, cargo, VGM, dangerous-goods and gate deadlines in writing.
Dangerous goods: Submit the correct UN number, proper shipping name, class, packing group, SDS and packing certificate where applicable. Fuel-oil and other liquid cargo require prior terminal and vessel acceptance.
Customs and inspection: Commercial invoice, packing list, certificate of origin, transport document, permits and consignee details must be consistent. Customs or port inspection may extend cargo dwell time, so avoid tight delivery commitments.
Inland delivery: Confirm truck type, axle and payload limits, route permissions, escort needs, unloading equipment and consignee receiving hours before cargo gates in. Final local requirements prevail.

Practical recommendations from our service team

Shipping Tips

Send our team the cargo description, HS code, dimensions, gross weight, packing method, flash point or SDS data where relevant, and the intended delivery point before requesting a rate.
For bulk or project cargo, secure a written pre-acceptance covering vessel size, draught, lifting method, discharge sequence, storage period and inland equipment rather than booking on port name alone.
For containerized cargo, ask us to validate whether the proposed carrier accepts IQKAZ directly or requires an alternative nearby gateway and controlled onward trucking arrangement.
Build schedule contingency for document corrections, customs inspection, berth changes and inland access restrictions; use a confirmed terminal window instead of an assumed free-time period.

Questions commonly raised by shippers

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Khor al Zubair suitable for standard FCL shipments?

It should not be assumed. The supplied record shows zero listed FCL and LCL service counts, while the port profile is centered on general, bulk and fuel-oil cargo. Our team will verify the current carrier, terminal and onward-transport option for each container shipment.

What vessel restrictions should be checked first?

Start with the vessel’s length, deadweight and arrival draught. The supplied parameters state 250 m maximum recorded length, 114,623 t maximum deadweight and 10.1 m maximum draught; actual acceptance remains subject to channel, tide, berth and terminal confirmation.

How should dangerous or fuel-oil cargo be arranged?

Provide the full dangerous-goods declaration, SDS, technical specifications and cargo quantity at inquiry stage. Our service team will seek vessel, terminal and local handling approval before fixing the shipment.

Can a fixed transit time be quoted?

Only after the routing, vessel or feeder connection, terminal window, customs plan and inland destination are confirmed. We present transit estimates as operational planning ranges, not guaranteed delivery dates.

What documents are normally needed for customs pre-check?

Prepare the commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading or equivalent transport document, certificate of origin where required, HS classification, consignee details and any cargo-specific permits or dangerous-goods documents. Exact requirements must be confirmed for the commodity and import regime.

Traceability and verification boundary

Data Sources & Provenance

Primary port facts: the supplied IQKAZ port master dataset, including UN/LOCODE, port name, country, coordinates, stated cargo profile, vessel mix, draft, length, deadweight and throughput figures. These values are reproduced as supplied and should be revalidated with the appointed port or vessel agent before operational commitment.

Code reference: UN/LOCODE framework information can be checked through unece.org. This reference does not independently validate berth availability, current schedules, local tariffs or operational restrictions.

Our platform treats schedules, cut-offs, terminal acceptance, customs practice, security conditions, inland permits and equipment availability as time-sensitive operational data. The service team confirms those items with the relevant carrier, terminal, broker or local agent before shipment execution.
