Shipping, Logistics Companies to Spur International Trade
Between Iraq and Major Commercial Markets in India, Far East, Americas
Press Release DUBAI, 13 Oct 2014 - Dubai-headquartered Transworld Group and NAWAH announced today that the two firms have
entered into a formal agreement to service Iraq’s growing demand for imports,
linking their considerable shipping, logistics, marine services and port
capabilities.
As
part of their agreement, Transworld Group and NAWAH Port Management, NAWAH’s
port operations business unit, will team up to increase the flow of essential
goods coming from the broader Middle East, Indian subcontinent, Far East and Southeast
Asia into the historic Port of Basra with seamless linkage to commercial
centers throughout Iraq.
“Iraq
stands at such an important moment of time – historically and commercially - and we are keen to play a part in this phase of growth,” said Ritesh S.
Ramakrishnan, Transworld Group’s Director of Strategy and Business Planning.
“The
sheer scale and magnitude of development occurring today in Iraq, along with a
growing middle class, requires logistical flows of epic proportions. Aligning
with NAWAH provides Transworld Group with first-class logistics solutions and
unrivaled port operations in Basra and one of the most reliable door-to-door
capabilities in Iraq,” explained Mr. Ramakrishnan.
Transworld Group, established in 1976,
brings nearly 40 years of expertise in integrated shipping, logistics,
multi-modal transport and marine services. The group owns and operates a fleet
of 30 vessels and has offices at all major ports in the United Arab Emirates as
well as other Arabian Gulf countries. The company also has significant presence
in India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka and the United States.
NAWAH Port Management (NPM) operates
the first modernized, containerized terminal in the Port of Basra (also known
as Al Maqal Port), located in downtown Basra along the banks of the Shatt Al
Arab waterway. Along with sister company NAWAH Supply & Distribution, NPM
offers customers a full spectrum of door-to-door, supply-chain capabilities for
cargo being transshipped into UAE’s mammoth Jebel Ali Port and bound for Iraq’s
oil and gas fields and commercial markets.
“Together with Transworld Group’s four
decades of shipping experience and NAWAH’s in-depth knowledge and operational
capabilities within Iraq, we are confident that we will redefine logistics in
the Middle East,” said Nicholas Kunesh, NAWAH Port Management’s president and
CEO. “Through our combined expertise, market reach, state-of-the-art technology
and customer-focused shipping and logistics services, we will enable Basra to
continue its accelerated march to becoming a key strategic trading center in
the Middle East, bridging East and West.”
Transworld Group and NAWAH have already
initiated joint cargo movement from Jebel Ali Port to NPM’s Port of Basra
terminal with containers from Transworld Group’s Balaji Shipping Lines
transiting via NPM’s feeder vessel service into southern Iraq. Containerized
and refrigerated cargo volume is forecasted to grow substantially in the next
six months.
