The Prime Minister’s Advisor for Transport Affairs, Nasser Al-Asadi, announced today, Tuesday, a plan to form a special body to manage the Faw Port and the development road, while pointing out that 95 percent of the Faw projects have been completed. Al-Asadi stated, in a statement to the official agency, that “work is underway to complete the five projects in the Faw Port, which include the submerged tunnel, the road linking the port, the welcome yards, the container handling yard, and the marine dock for docking ships.”
He also explained that “the five projects have reached advanced completion rates of approximately 95% for each of them, while work on the immersed tunnel has reached the stage of examining the soil under the tunnel, which is located under water, which requires the use of advanced engineering techniques that are being introduced to Iraq for the first time.”
He added: “We are currently studying the formation of a special authority to manage the Faw Port and the development road, which will also supervise the economic city, the residential city, and investments along the development road.”
He also indicated that “Oliver Wyman International has been appointed to study the economic model of the project, with the aim of providing economic opportunities according to the requirements of the global market,” noting that “the Faw Port is expected to be operational this year, to be completed with the development path by the end of 2028.”
