Bahri Logistics has been calling the Portof Houston for nearly three decades and is one of the few companies offering a full-liner multipurpose ro-ro, breakbulk and containerized service from the East Coast and Gulf Coast ports of the U.S. and Canada to the Middle East and the Indian subcontinent, with way ports in the Mediterranean and Europe.
The unit’s six state-of-the-art 26,000-DWT RoRoCon vessels are specially designed to carry breakbulk, project, and ro-ro cargoes, including heavyweight and over-dimensional loads up to 220 metric tons.
