Umm Qasr, Basra and the ports of the south
Umm Qasr, near Basra at the head of the Gulf, is Iraq's main commercial seaport, and much of the country's imported food, medicines, building materials and equipment lands there before moving north by road. The Grand Faw port is under development on the Faw peninsula, and the Development Road is a planned road and rail corridor intended to connect it northwards to the Turkish border. Whatever the timeline of those projects, the warehouses, transit sheds and truck yards around the southern ports are where the day-to-day work happens.
Spatial Map maps such a site as it runs: dock doors and their turns, trailers in yard slots, the gate and the weighbridge, and RFID-tagged pallets read through the building. The Eastport Cross-Dock demo shows the full picture, with built-in reports for the yard, dock doors and gate exported to PDF or Excel at the end of the shift.
