Iraq continues to rebuild and develop, creating surging demand for imported materials as well as a need for efficient ports to handle commodity exports. Located in Basra's Al Maqal Port, Hutchison Ports Basra plays a key role in supporting the local economy.

The advanced two-berth facility offers the most direct access to the centre of Iraq's second-largest city. It also serves an extended hinterland containing over 13 million people and a growing oil and gas industry.

Hutchison Ports Basra is a member of Hutchison Ports, the port and related services division of CK Hutchison Holdings. Hutchison Ports is the world’s leading port investor, developer and operator, with operations in 53 ports spanning 27 countries across Asia, the Middle East, Africa, Europe, the Americas and Australasia.

This relationship ensures the provision of highly efficient container handling services, best-practice operating standards, and the connection of Iraq to markets worldwide.
