The Ministry of Transport announced, on Sunday, that Iraqi ports are ready to be an alternative to global transport lines to deliver goods from east to west.

The Director General of the General Company for Iraqi Ports, Farhan Al-Fartusi, said in a statement received by Al-Maalomah: “The Iraqi port of Umm Qasr is ready for any real or international need, to receive increasing numbers of containers, after the security tension in the Red Sea and the suspension of many of the major international transport companies’ routes, especially Those that transport goods from Europe to the Arabian Gulf and East Asia and vice versa.

He explained that “Iraq, due to its distinctive location linking the East and the West, is currently considered one of the easiest and safest transport routes, as we expect that there will be a large movement of container handling in the port of Umm Qasr during the coming period,” stressing that “Iraqi ports are prepared for such an increase in operations.” “.

He added, “Iraqi ports have actually become an important transit site for transporting goods from Europe through the Turkish port of Mersin and from there to Iraq all the way to the Gulf and East Asia, and vice versa for Chinese goods towards Europe.”

He continued, “This matter clearly shows the importance of the two projects of the Grand Al-Faw Port and the development road that Iraq is implementing, as they have become an international requirement and even an urgent necessity so that the navigation and maritime transport routes in the world are safe.”
