Hamad Port (Port Code: QAHMD), the leading seaport in Qatar, is located in the south of Doha in the Umm Al-Houl area. Hamad Port covers 28.5 square kilometers and will have the yearly capacity for 1.7 million tones of general freight and 1 million tones of grain, with a specialist terminal supporting the entry of around 500,000 vehicles per year.
The first of the three container terminals is currently operational and has an optimum capacity of 2 million TEUs per year, eventually increasing to over 7.5 million. This will then be supported by transshipment links by rail, sea, and road to the region.
