Renowned for handling all types of general cargo, BMT ensures operations are conducted with the highest standards of safety, reliability, and efficiency as part of its customer-centric business model.

BMT’s strength lies in its dedicated general cargo operations team, comprising international and local professionals. This team designs tailored handling solutions, supported by technical and operational studies, to ensure that every methodology implemented is both safe and efficient. Their expertise and commitment have solidified BMT’s reputation as the terminal of choice for major shipping lines, freight forwarders, Oil & Gas-Energy companies, EPC contractors, and transporters alike.
This trust, built on a foundation of reliability, safety, and efficiency, has enabled BMT to maintain the highest market share in both yard receipt and stevedoring activities at Umm Qasr Port.
With 800 meters of linear quay spread across four berths—and an additional 632 meters with three berths under development—BMT accommodates all types of general cargo and bulk carriers.
