Iraq ramps up Umm Qasr Port to quadruple capacity
Shafaq News – Basra Iraq's Umm Qasr Port in Basra province is undergoing modernization to expand capacity and streamline cargo operations, targeting an increase in throughput from one million to four million containers annually. The move follows Iraq's General Company announcement of a master plan to establish Iraq as a regional supply chain hub. The port, a vital gateway for Iraq's global trade, is being upgraded with expanded berths, advanced storage yards, and digital customs systems designed to accelerate clearance and enhance logistics efficiency. Multiple investment firms are involved in the overhaul; UAE-based Gulftainer is managing key berths and storage zones, while China's Lurin Investment is leading the expansion of roll-on/roll-off (RoRo) terminals and rear storage areas. Both companies, working with Iraqi teams, are implementing electronic management platforms to cut dwell times and boost performance. 'Operations at the Gulftainer-run terminal have significantly improved in recent years,' the company's regional director, Ibrahim Sarhan, told Shafaq News. 'Our digital system plans storage before vessels arrive, reducing wait times and increasing operational output.' He added that the facility spans 450,000 square meters and includes refrigerated warehouses, 24/7 customs, and security services. 'Customs clearance now averages under 48 hours, accelerating cargo movement, particularly in oil and gas.' Meanwhile, Lurin Investment is developing Berths 22, 23, and 24 using gravity wall engineering resistant to seismic activity, according to Naim Aboud, chief engineer at the Resident Engineer Directorate. The adjoining storage yards cover 384,100 square meters and are currently 50% complete. Aboud also noted that Berths 12 to 15 are nearly complete at 97%, while the BTM container yard is fully operational, covering 400,000 square meters with a capacity of 700,000 to 850,000 containers annually. Additional upgrades are advancing. Mohammad Taher Fadel, the port's deputy technical manager, reported that Berth 11, operated by Gulftainer, measures 375 meters with an adjacent 307,000-square-meter container yard handling 636,000 containers yearly. The new berths under Lurin's supervision extend 550 meters and will add 850,000 containers to overall capacity, bringing the combined throughput of upgraded areas to 1.2 million containers. These facilities also support refrigerated, empty, and general cargo handling. However, transportation expert Basel Al-Khafaji had warned that legacy constraints still hamper growth. 'Port drafts haven't been deepened for over 40 years,' he told Shafaq News. 'Ships are limited to 25,000 tons due to shallow docking zones. Deepening to 20–25 meters is essential for accommodating larger vessels and increasing import volumes.'

Jordan-Syria trade rebounds: Exports surge nearly 500% in early 2025
Shafaq News – Amman/Damascus Jordan's exports to Syria surged nearly 500% in the first four months of 2025, according to the Jordanian Ministry of Foreign Trade. Exports reached $101M through April, up from $18.3M during the same period in 2024. Cement topped the list of outbound goods, with over 6,150 truckloads transported to Syria, reflecting Jordan's "expanding logistical role in reconstruction efforts and improved bilateral ties" with the new Syrian government, the ministry reported. The Jaber–Nasib border crossing recorded heightened activity, with nearly 14,600 Jordanian trucks entering Syrian territory during the same period. The trade rebound follows new economic agreements and a plan to establish a high-level coordination council aimed at boosting cooperation in trade, energy, transport, and water sectors. Jordan's exports to Syria had exceeded $1.1B before the outbreak of war in 2011, but dropped sharply after the 2020 implementation of the US Caesar Act, which imposed sanctions on entities dealing with the Syrian government. By that year, bilateral trade had fallen to just $79M.

US-Canada trade talks resume after Ottawa drops tech tax
Shafaq News – Washington Trade negotiations between the United States and Canada resumed on Sunday after Ottawa withdrew its plan to impose a digital services tax on American technology companies, Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney announced. The move follows a statement on Friday by the US President Donald Trump, who had suspended the talks in response to Canada's intention to proceed with the tax. Trump described the measure, which was scheduled to take effect Monday, as a 'direct and blatant attack on our country.' The proposed levy would have imposed a 3% tax on revenue generated by US digital firms—including Amazon, Google, and Meta—from Canadian users, and applied retroactively. According to estimates, US firms would have faced a $2 billion bill by the end of the month. Both leaders reportedly held a phone conversation on Sunday. Carney's office confirmed that they agreed to resume negotiations. In a statement, the Canadian government said that 'in anticipation' of reaching a trade agreement, Canada would rescind the tax plan. 'Today's announcement will support a resumption of negotiations toward the July 21, 2025, timeline set out at this month's G7 Leaders' Summit in Kananaskis,' Carney said. The resumption of talks comes amid broader tensions in US-Canada relations since Trump's return to office in January. The US president has taken an unpredictable approach to trade, including repeated suggestions that Canada could be integrated as a US state. Trump and Carney last met in May at the White House, and again earlier this month during the G7 summit in Alberta, where both countries agreed to a 30-day deadline for trade negotiations. Canadian Finance Minister François-Philippe Champagne also spoke on Sunday with US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent. 'Rescinding the digital services tax will allow the negotiations of a new economic and security relationship with the United States to make vital progress,' Champagne said.
