Hamad Port
Hamad Port is Qatar’s main commercial seaport and the primary gateway for containerised cargo entering the country. Located south of Doha, the port handles container shipments, general cargo and project shipments serving businesses across Qatar.
As the country’s largest port, Hamad Port plays a central role in the movement of imported goods and industrial materials.
Al Ruwais Port
Al Ruwais Port serves as an important northern logistics gateway in Qatar. The port supports cargo flows serving northern regions and provides an additional entry point for goods moving into the country.
Shipments arriving through Al Ruwais Port often support regional distribution, project activities and supply chains outside the Doha metropolitan area.
Our Experience
Operating from Doha since 1980, Shaikhan regularly handles shipments connected to both Hamad Port and Al Ruwais Port. Our work includes customs clearance, cargo transportation within Qatar and coordination of regulatory procedures required for cargo release. Because many shipments entering the country pass through these two ports, familiarity with their processes, documentation requirements and inspection workflows is essential for smooth cargo movement.
