Iraq relies on ports in neighbouring Kuwait for much of its non-oil trade. The mega port project is also part of a long-term plan to transform Iraq in to a logistics corridor between the Middle East and Europe. There are plans to reconstruct the colonial era railway linking the Gulf to Turkey. 'If Grand Faw port is completed it would be a major event for world transportation. We will shorten the time to reach Europe from 20 days to three or four,' Thani said. The port will include 7km of quayside for container ships and around 3.5km for general cargo

It's years away from completion Then they will get the support to increase their market economy

Did you read it sandfly ? Or just say thanks ?

It's pinned in the news section if ya ever need it again

Ya they started it I think the little clip the second utube video I put up talks about that Phase one if not its in the third utube I put up , the third video is the best one it talks about moving to a market economy and why that port is so important for that It's 8 minutes long I been trying to follow it for the last 4 years The third video is the best by far I posted a link in the news section just before I saw your topic today It talks about them turning it over to investors because they don't have the funds right now to complete it http://dinarvets.com/forums/index.php?/topic/197034-iraq-may-award-grand-faw-port-project-to-investors/ Link to news section topic earlier today The minister also said only part of a breakwater for the project has been completed, adding that there is “a big delay in the execution of that phase of the project From that article I thought it was in the utube but I read it in the article I think, any way it's in the article for sure

If they don't make a modern investment like in that video They won't be anywhere that is correct they can just do the same thing forever But it's not there plan They will in my opinion during the current year turn this over for completion to investors

They have already started phase one of the project

Huh I guess those nimrods can do it without a port and this is just a waste of time so they might as well just scrap the idea , the market economy can just sail in and out on row boats This says it all its not my opinion it's a fact https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=_gbtlpHuZWM That utube is the most informative you will find on Iraqs future market economy

Lol

Here Rckfla watch this and tell us what you think How far away from this are they if they went full speed ahead on it https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=_gbtlpHuZWM

So will a strong dinar be a good thing for importing everything they will be needing to rebuild or build their future? Or should they wait and and lose using a week dinar Maybe they are waiting for a strong dinar to start the process Who knows ?

In order for this to work iraq " must" build and maintain good relations with "Iran" and kuwait If iran got teed off they could destroy it easily from within their own border

That last utube video is the single most informative that I've ever seen I could watch it over and over

The best one to watch https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=_gbtlpHuZWM Watch that utube if you ever wanted to know the future of iraq It's the best outlook iraq can have presented on a 7 minute video

an explaination of the port and its necessity https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=_gbtlpHuZWM

This woukd be a good investment 2.54 AM Saturday, 14 February 2015 RSS Feeds Iraq may award Grand Faw port project to investors Transport minister says contract may be offered on investment basis due to lack of funds By Staff Published Wednesday, January 28, 2015 Italian firm had prepared the designs for the port, which will have an annual handling capacity of 99 million tonnes per year. (File picture for illustrative purpose only) Iraq is considering seeking foreign investors for a multi-billion-dollar Grand Faw project to construct one of the world’s largest ports in the conflict-battered Arab country, Iraq’s transport minister has said. “The transport ministry is unable to execute the Grand Faw port project, which will have a total cost of nearly six billion dollars. We cannot secure these funds so the ministry is studying awarding the project on an investment basis for execution,” Baqr Jabr Al-Zubeidi told Iraq’s ‘Awan’ news network. He said some foreign companies have already expressed interest in investing in this project, but did not name them. The minister also said only part of a breakwater for the project has been completed, adding that there is “a big delay in the execution of that phase of the project.” Iraqi officials said last year an Italian firm had prepared the designs for the port, which will have an annual handling capacity of 99 million tonnes per year. The port will have a 39-km container quay and another 2-km berth, besides a container warehouse with an area of more than one million square metres. Iraq, a key OPEC oil producer, laid the foundation stone for the Faw Port project in the southern port of Basra in April 2012 as it pushed ahead with a drive to rebuild its war-battered infrastructure. http://www.emirates247.com/business/corporate/iraq-may-award-grand-faw-port-project-to-investors-2015-01-28-1.578397 Utube of port to be built https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Z0DJ8nJ_HLI

Last Wednesday two days ago There are currently 2,630 U.S. military personnel in Iraq. Last summer, the Obama administration sent American troops to Baghdad to augment security at the U.S. embassy as well as a small number of advisers to help the Iraqi military halt ISIS’s advance towards the Iraqi capital. Since then the White House has authorized the presence in Iraq of as many as 3,100 U.S. military personnel to provide security to American facilities and launch a training and advise mission for the Iraqi military. The Obama administration has repeatedly stated that U.S. personnel sent to Iraq are not combat “boots on the ground” because they will not see frontline combat with Iraqi units. However, senior military commanders have said publicly that Joint Terminal Air Controllers (JTAC’s) may end up paired with Iraqi units to call in airstrikes in complex military operations. The proposed AUMF would enable this limited use of ground forces http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/faq-authorization-military-force-fight-isis/story?id=28894024
