Qatari owner Milaha has started its first containership service to Iraq.
The feeder run expands on the existing Qatar-Kuwait string launched last year.
It will link Iraq's Umm Qasr to Hamad in Qatar and Shuwaikh in Kuwait.
One vessel of 1,015 teu will be used.
The service will have a transit time of two days, making it ideal for dry and refrigerated food stuffs, consumer electronics, and construction materials.
