MSC speeds up inland Iraq access via Türkiye road routes

MSC Mediterranean Shipping Company has introduced simple and fast road routes through Türkiye to move goods from Asia–Mediterranean services into inland Iraq. Cargo that arrives at Iskenderun and Mersin ports is then moved by truck to major cities, offering good transit times and flexible delivery options.

The company’s Tiger and Phoenix services bring shipments from Asia into southern Türkiye. From there, goods are quickly loaded onto trucks, making the journey smoother and helping avoid delays. This combination of sea and road transport is becoming an easy and reliable option for many businesses.

Trucks from Türkiye connect to key cities such as Zakho, Dohuk, Mosul, Erbil, Sulaymaniyah and Baghdad. Strong road links and border crossings help keep cargo moving steadily across these routes. Customers can also choose how they want their goods moved inland, either using their own trucking or the company’s arranged services.

MSC says this Türkiye road route is helping keep supply chains running smoothly. With steady transit times and clear routes, it is giving businesses a practical way to move goods into inland markets.
