The Iraqi government is making efforts to improve the performance and resources of the old traditional ports in the south of the country, including the port of Khor al-Amaya, which will see the construction of a new pipeline to pump crude to global markets.
Oil Minister Hayan Abdul-Ghani confirmed that Iraq plans to implement the third marine pipeline to enhance and increase the export capacities of crude by about 500 thousand barrels per day from the export outlets overlooking the Gulf in the city of Basra.
The pipeline is supposed to be built at Khor al-Amaya, close to the much larger Basra seaport, which has many berths and mooring points.
