The Port of Umm Qasr is located approximately 5.2 km south of Basra. It is by far the largest sea port and the only deep-water port in Iraq. The port has road links northwest to Basra and south across the Kuwaiti border, plus a main line rail link north-west to Basra. The BMT Umm Qasr Yard-5 is situated at the northern end of the port.
ENKA was awarded the contract by the Aloreen Company on May 7th 2018. ENKA’s responsibilities under this contract include engineering, procurement and construction activities. Within the scope of works, a blockwork-type quay wall is to be installed at the end of the basin. This will be the very first block – work-type quay wall to be constructed in Iraq and ENKA is proud to be involved.
