Baghdad (IraqiNews.com) – Iraq’s Ministry of Transport announced on Monday that revenues generated from the country’s ports surpassed 1.063 trillion Iraqi dinars by the end of October 2025, the highest in years and a key indicator of rising operational efficiency.
According to Farhan Al-Fartousi, Director General of the General Company for Ports of Iraq, total revenues reached 1,063,291,000,000 IQD, covering all ports and affiliated facilities. Al-Fartousi said the growth reflects improved performance driven by updated operational plans across maritime and logistics sectors.
He confirmed the revenue increase came as a result of strong support from Minister of Transport Razzaq Muhaibis Al-Saadawi and the implementation of several development measures. These included upgrades to maritime traffic management systems, strengthened administrative and financial oversight, and tighter control of port operations to ensure higher efficiency and service quality.
The ministry noted that the surge in revenues highlights improved performance in commercial and oil ports, especially in areas such as marine services, berth management, cargo handling and unloading, and port fee collection.
Iraq’s Ports Company affirmed it will continue expanding infrastructure, modernizing the national maritime fleet, and enhancing support services, all aimed at boosting Iraq’s position on the regional and global maritime transport map and supporting long-term economic growth.
