Shafaq News / DP World Group launched "DB World", the first direct freight service between the UAE and Iraq, to facilitate the flow of goods between the two countries.

 

This service launches what is known in the sector as "unaccompanied trailer vehicles", which are trailer vehicles that can be transported by sea without the driver and the trailer traveling with it, as the trailer is left on the dock by the driver, and then it is towed inside the ship and taken out. of it alone.

 

This service is the first of its kind in the UAE and is provided by P&O Navigation, a subsidiary of the DB World group.

 

This service takes about 36 hours to transport trailers between the port of Jebel Ali in the UAE and the port of Umm Qasr in southern Iraq.

 

Unaccompanied trailers are loaded onto ro-ro cargo vessels, without the driver and trailer tow at the port; Once the trailer reaches the port of Umm Qasr, an Iraqi truck can drive it to its final destination anywhere in the country; Once delivered, the empty trailer is returned to Umm Qasr Port and shipped to Jebel Ali.

 

Goods shipped by road from the UAE to Iraq had to be transferred from the original truck to a locally licensed vehicle, which is a time-consuming process that can expose the goods to damage and contamination, and threaten safety.
