MEED’s first transport and logistics special report in 2012 will focus on ports and shipping and will provide an overview of the region’s ports industry, detailing the capacity of the ports, their operators and plans for expansion.
Iraq is the Gulf’s fastest growing projects market with more than $360bn-worth of projects planned or under way. The immense pipeline of work will require huge volumes of imported construction materials and equipment. As a result Baghdad is investing to improve its ports infrastructure. The designs for the $6bn Grand Faw port, which will be the largest port in the northern Gulf, in Basra are now complete and plans are also under way for a dry port to support the facility. Meanwhile, new container terminals have recently opened at Umm Qasr port. The special report will include a focus on Iraq’s ports and the impact Kuwait’s planned Mubarak port on Bubiyan Island could potentially have on its neighbour.
Last year was a busy time of Saudi ports with higher exports of crude oil and refined products and increased imports of construction materials. The total tonnage handled by the kingdom’s ports was up more than 7 per cent year-on-year. The report will analyse the Saudi ports industry, looking at the busiest ports and the expansion projects planned and under way.
The Suez Canal is one of the world’s most important shipping lanes, connecting the Atlantic Sea with the Indian Ocean. The report will analyse the traffic levels seen in 2011 and the revenues it generated for the Egyptian government.
The special report will also include analysis of the outlook for freight rates in 2012.
