Transport Minister Wahab al-Hasani opened the tunnel in the Khor al-Zubair canal in Basra governorate on Thursday. A ministry statement called it one of the major engineering achievements of the Grand Al-Faw Port project, shortening distances and travel time.

The Grand Al-Faw Port is a major project in Basra province in southern Iraq, intended to give Iraq a deep-water gateway to the Gulf, while Umm Qasr is Iraq's main existing port.
