Global Reach, Local Port
Expertise
We bridge international trade routes with efficient port operations, connecting your global supply chain to Iraq without costly delays or complex administrative bottlenecks.
Specialized Ocean Freight Capabilities
From consolidated LCL to complex break bulk, we deliver flexible solutions adapted to your specific requirements.
Exclusive Container Shipping
For high-volume shipments, our FCL service provides exclusive use of standard 20ft and 40ft containers. We secure competitive rates and guaranteed equipment availability from all major global ports to Umm Qasr (North & South).
- Standard, High Cube, and Open Top containers.
- Flexible sailing schedules from major hubs.
- Demurrage and detention management.
Consolidated Cargo Solutions
When you don’t have enough cargo to fill a container, our LCL service offers a cost-effective alternative. We consolidate your goods with other shipments, allowing you to share container space while paying only for volume used.
- Regular consolidation services.
- Cost sharing for smaller shipments.
- Secure handling at consolidation warehouses.
Oversized Cargo Transport
For cargo that cannot fit into standard containers, such as heavy machinery, turbines, or construction equipment, we offer specialized Break Bulk services. We charter vessels or secure space on multi-purpose ships for safe transport.
- Heavy-lift and over-dimensional handling.
- Portside supervision during loading/discharge.
- Direct delivery to project sites.
Detention-Free Flexibility
To mitigate high detention charges at Iraqi ports, we facilitate the use of Shipper Owned Containers (SOC). This allows for extended usage time at the destination without accruing daily penalties from shipping lines.
- Purchase or lease of SOC units.
- Avoidance of line demurrage charges.
- Flexibility for temporary site storage.
Global-to-Global Shipping
We manage shipments between any two points in the world, even if they do not originate or terminate in Iraq. Our control tower coordinates documentation and routing to ensure seamless third-party logistics.

Advantages
The TTS-Iraq Advantage
Bridging global standards and local realities, our infrastructure mitigates risk to ensure compliance and consistent results.
Umm Qasr Port Mastery
Operating effectively at Umm Qasr requires specialized local knowledge. Our port teams maintain strong relationships with terminal operators and customs authorities, ensuring priority handling for your cargo. We proactively manage the complex documentation required for port release, significantly reducing the risk of cargo stagnation and accelerating the final gate-out process.
Demurrage Mitigation
Unexpected port storage and line detention fees can destroy project budgets. We mitigate these risks by pre-clearing documents before vessel arrival and offering Shipper Owned Container (SOC) options. Our proactive monitoring ensures empty containers are returned promptly, protecting your bottom line from the high daily penalties common in Iraqi shipping.
