The third biggest port in the world.
The $6 billion port would ship cargo coming into Faw across land, via Turkey and into Europe. From China to Germany, the trip would only take five days, according to the article. By building a railway from Basra to Turkey, the port has a huge advantage, making the more costly ship routes round the Horn of Africa and through the Suez Canal less attractive.
Alstom will build the new Baghdad-Basra which will eventually be extended to Al faw peninsula connecting Faw to the railway in Turkey all the way to Berlin.
Construction has started in December 2012.
