Planning: The Grand Fao port will be completed in 3 years Alsabaah-30695

Abdul Zahra Mohammed Al-Hindawi

If we review the largest ports in the world that start with the port of "Singapore" and Shanghai, and end with the Japanese port of "Nagoya", we will not find among them, which exceeds the number of fifty, any name for an Iraqi port, and this is not surprising, as our border ports are still, In the forefront of which are the marine (ports), air (airports), and even wilderness, below the level of ambition. Therefore, we still have a long way to go to enter our ports and airports within the international records.

As the biggest, broadest, best, to last characteristic of other preferences.

There is no doubt that the ports constitute a first priority within the global agenda, because they represent economic importance, as a result of maritime transport licenses, and they are distinguished by a high safety rate, unlike high-cost air transport, and land transport which is often subject to grave risks, and here comes the question. Al-Jawhari: Are we able to burn those long distances and distances between us and other countries of the world that have ports, especially with the presence of a number of important ports that Iraq enjoys within its southern borders, including Umm Qasr, Abu Flus, Grand Faw and others?

I say: Yes, we can achieve such an exceptional economic goal, and here I am talking about the Grand Faw Port project, this project that I have been developing since 2007. However, there are great challenges that faced the completion of the project, not only related to the lack of financial allocations, but there were other challenges, including the presence of mines left from the 1980-1988 and 1991 wars, but the need for Iraq to have a port on the open sea, within the “Khor Abdullah” channel

Such important data clearly confirms that we are facing a giant project, which extends over an area of 54 km, as well as being the first Iraqi port being implemented in the open sea in an unconventional manner that should be dealt with differently, because in the end, if we take into account the size The port, and the magnitude of its components and supplements that extend to the construction of a 100-km railway network, connects the port to the national network, the construction of highways, an airport, and a naval base. For full cargo, and 20 general cargo berths And other berths for oil derivatives, and other important details, from which we can conclude that the large port of Faw will be one of the ten largest global ports, not including an Arab port, and we can imagine the size and amount of the economic impact of a global port in this prestigious location, Certainly, it will turn Iraq into an international economic center

Here, I am not talking about science fiction, or dreams of birds, but rather are common facts in the scene, so we have less than four years to reach this that we are talking about, provided that the requirements for the completion of the project are provided, foremost of which are financial allocations, because the infrastructure needs approximately (3) Billions of dollars to complete the infrastructure, and about two billion dollars, to implement new contracts. Perhaps talking about such amounts within a specific time period and a clear scarcity of resources seems difficult to provide, so I say that it is possible to invest in the Iraqi-Chinese agreement and give priority to a port project FAO, and its completion on schedule, to make that shift The big economic in the economy
Iraqi.
