Abstract

Hanna Shaikh Holding Company (HSHC) proposes to build a vast and hugely expensive port ($10-12 billion) with 40 km of berths at the Fao peninsula, a marshy region adjoining the Arabian Gulf in the extreme south-east of Iraq, between and to the south-east of the cities of Basra (Iraq) and Abadan (Iran). The main purpose of the terminal would be to export oil. This report reviews the project proposal. It comments on oil production forecasts, prospects for Iraqi oil production, container traffic, liquid natural gas/liquid petroleum gas, free zones, project viability, technical and other issues.
