ISS Lands in Umm Qasr
01 Jul 2003
International marine management company Inchscape Shipping Services (ISS) has been appointed as sole Lloyd’s Agents for southern Iraq, effective from the first of this month. ISS will be responsible for the region of Iraq south of the 32nd parallel. This territory includes Iraq’s deepwater port of Umm Qasr and will eventually include the ports of Basra and Khor al Zubayr as well as Basra Airport once these are restored to normal commercial status.
ISS was the first agent to establish a strategic presence in Umm Qasr in March and the first company to deploy a vessel in the port for civilian and then commercial purposes, in April and June respectively. The Lloyd’s Agency will be run from ISS’ established Umm Qasr office.
Harry Karanassos, ISS Regional Manager said: ‘Today’s appointment continues an unbroken relationship between ISS and Lloyd’s of London that goes back to 1869.’
