The ability of the Port of Umm Qasr in Iraq to receive direct calls from larger container vessels is being progressively boosted by the new terminal development program at Basra Gateway Terminal. A significant milestone was reached at the end of August with the servicing of Evergreen’s 5652-TEU capacity Ever Useful, the largest to call Berth 27 at BGT. Basra Gateway Terminal in Iraq is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Manila-based International Container Terminal Services Inc.
