UTV - Basra

The content of 30 papers from Egypt, Iran and Turkey included a new map of commercial navigation in the region drawn by the great port of Faw with dimensions that re-formulate international balances on economic bases.

The research was presented during the first scientific conference on the great port of Faw, which was organized by the Iraqi Ports Company in partnership with the Center for Studies of Basra and the Arabian Gulf.

Dr. said. Qais Nasser, director of the Center for Basra and Gulf Studies, told UTV that "many researches have come to us from Iran, Turkey and Egypt and have focused on the port's importance, benefits, and presence in development."

The Al-Faw port in the Arab world is viewed as one of the most promising economic projects, due to its strategic location overlooking the Gulf, close to international sea lanes by linking the east and west of the globe through the dry channel.

Dr. said. Ahmed Ismail, a member of the Arab Academy for Science, Technology and Maritime Transport, told UTV: “The Faw port does not compete with the Suez Canal, and even if it competes with it, we are Arab countries that share common interests, and there must be complementarity between us.”

One of the most prominent challenges facing the Al-Faw port project at the present time is financing, according to the Iraqi Ports Company, calling on the Ministry of Finance to expedite the disbursement of funds in order to avoid delays in the construction work carried out by the Korean company Daewoo at a total cost of more than two billion dollars.

Farhan Al-Fartousi, director of the Iraq Ports Company, told UTV, "What we are suffering from is the release of financial allocations, and we hope the Ministry of Finance will release the allocations for this project in a timely manner so that there is no delay in paying the financial dues to the executing company."

Navigation experts predict that the Faw port will have the largest role in the post-oil economy, within the framework of diversifying Iraq's sources of revenue and its oil-dependent economy currently.
