DP World has introduced a new 36-hour marine service between Iraq’s Umm Qasr Port and Dubai’s Mina Rashid. It offers a quicker option to overland trucking and can carry up to 145 accompanying trailers per sailing.
The dedicated RoRo ship running the new route, DP World Express, officially welcomed the service in Mina Rashid. The ship is set to start operations in December 2025 after undergoing recent improvements at Drydocks World.
The ship will offer clients a direct and safe door-to-door solution between the United Arab Emirates and Iraq by transporting non-containerized, full trailer units with drivers on board. Additionally, it will reduce cross-border complications, enhance reliability, and make travel to other countries easier.
