Description

Description

The Umm Qasr Port (UQP or the Port) is located approximately 70 km south of Basra, Iraq, and is considered Iraq’s main port handling most of the container traffic and serving a large portion of the Iraqi population. Aloreen Company for Investments (Aloreen or the Company) has been operating since 2016, under a 25-year concession agreement from the General Council for the Ports of Iraq (GCPI), with the commercial name of Basra Multipurpose Terminal (“BMT”), a multipurpose terminal (“Terminal 1”) at UQP. The Company is now seeking to increase its overall capacity by developing a new terminal exclusively dedicated to containers (Terminal 2 or the Project). IFC will provide up to $ 45 million in senior debt financing to the Company from IFC’s own account and help mobilize additional financing from other lenders. Another $ 80 million as debt will be provided by JICA. https://disclosures.ifc.org/project-detail/ESRS/40784/umm-qasr
