Humanitarian Relief to Iraq


Global Container Lines is proud to have been selected by USAID for the carriage of the first shipment of humanitarian relief cargo to the people of Iraq. The Motor Vessel "Free Atlas" sailed Galveston, Texas on April 04, 2003 with a cargo of 28,000 mtons of wheat bound for Iraq. The vessel arrived in Aqaba, Jordan on April 30 where the cargo was discharged for onward delivery to Iraq.

New York based Global Container Lines Limited ("GCL") is a worldwide leader in marine transportation and logistics. While providing a global service, GCL's core areas of operation are the Middle East, Africa, and the Indian-Subcontinent - areas in which GCL has a long history. GCL has extensive experience in the multi-modal carriage of humanitarian relief cargo under difficult circumstances and in regions with little or no logistical infrastructure.


Humanitarian Relief to Afghanistan

In November of 2001, USAID/WFP awarded the first shipment of food for the people of Afghanistan to GCL. The shipment was carried successfully from the US Gulf to Afghanistan.

Subsequent to this, GCL has successfully carried several additional consignments of relief goods and other shipments for Afghanistan. GCL's experience in the area and expertise in handling all types of cargo: Project cargo, general cargo, vehicles, containers and bulk, allows them to provide through transport to any point in Afghanistan for any type of cargo.
