Commenting on the event, Eng. Baydaq Aljazaeri, Founder and Chairman of JAK Maritime, said: “We would like to thank everyone who joined us in celebrating our 20th anniversary. Over the coming years, we have strategic plans to expand across the region, including horizontal growth into new fields such as subsea pipeline laying and vertical expansion to increase the number of vessels under our management. These steps will further strengthen JAK Maritime’s position as one of the leading maritime service providers in the region.”
Across the region, JAK Maritime has implemented dozens of vital projects over the past two decades in several Arab countries, most notably in Iraq’s oil fields — the backbone of the Iraqi economy — where it has fully managed mooring and unmooring operations at oil terminals. Iraq’s crude oil exports have a combined operational capacity exceeding 3.5 million barrels per day. The company adheres to the highest governance standards, environmental protection commitments, and operational safety — achieving a spotless record with zero incidents.
Over the past five years, JAK Maritime has entered into strategic partnerships with Iraqi government entities such as the General Company for Ports of Iraq and the Iraqi Supreme Maritime Authority to provide monitoring and supervision services for vessel traffic within territorial waters. The company also announced during the event the launch of a new Search and Rescue Center project. JAK Maritime has also been involved in mine-clearing and rehabilitation operations in environmentally affected offshore areas near oil ports, in addition to wreck removal and port cleaning projects — such as the recent clearance and restoration of Salalah Port in Oman following severe storms. This work allowed the port to swiftly and safely resume operations.
