During the tour, Al-Sudani assessed various aspects of the port’s development, beginning with the five newly completed docks, which were handed over in a ceremony he sponsored.

According to National Iraqi News Agency, the Prime Minister’s Media Office reported that Al-Sudani also inspected the container yard and dock wall, both of which have reached a completion rate of 100%. He then reviewed the submerged tunnel project, which has achieved a completion rate of 58.47% and is considered one of the critical projects for developmental roads.
