rafidainscope - The Ministry of Transport announced the readiness of the Iraqi Marine Line to resume its commercial navigation activity in the Arabian Gulf region, following a hiatus that lasted over half a century. The ministry confirmed that the first

flights will depart mid-month from Jebel Ali Port in the UAE to Umm Qasr Port in Iraq. This step aims to return the national carrier to regional trade routes and provide national options for transporting containers and goods, thereby enhancing

Iraq's maritime transport capabilities and supporting regional trade.
