Transport of Oil Derivatives from Khor Al-Zubair Port to Regional Waters

Location: Basra

Enhancing Iraq’s Oil Transportation

The transportation of crude oil derivatives from Khor Al-Zubair Port to regional waters represents a transformative partnership between Al-Raiya Group Company and the Iraqi Ministry of Oil. This collaborative endeavor aims to streamline, regulate, and optimize the transportation of oil and its derivatives, prioritizing cargo quality and quantity preservation.

With meticulous planning and attention to detail, Al-Raiya Group Company has devised a comprehensive strategy to facilitate the prompt, safe and secure delivery of crude oil and its derivatives to consumers.

To successfully execute this innovative solution, Al-Raiya Group Company, through its maritime subsidiary, has strategically operated an extensive fleet comprising some of the finest oil tankers worldwide. Additionally, the company has moored Very Large Crude Carriers (VLCCs) in Iraqi territorial waters.

Al-Raiya Group Company’s oil tankers play a crucial role in loading the predetermined quantities of crude oil and its derivatives for export, as determined by the Oil Marketing Company (SOMO) affiliated with the Iraqi Ministry of Oil. These cargoes are then efficiently unloaded into the tanks, where they await further transportation to the end consumers. In addition to facilitating the transfer from the oil tanker to the storage tanks, Al-Raiya Group Company offers a direct and meticulous ship-to-ship service.

By effectively organizing the delivery services for Iraqi oil to consumers and closely monitoring the quantities being transferred, the transportation of crude oil derivatives from the Khor Al-Zubair Port to regional waters resolves the technical and logistics issues that previously hindered the regional and international demand for Iraqi oil, and bolsters Iraq’s standing as one of the leading oil exporters, further solidifying our commitment to innovative solutions that advance the nation’s crude oil and gas industry.

The transportation of oil derivatives from the Khor Al-Zubair Port to regional waters is a project we are proud to have achieved.
