The University of Basrah inaugurated a Boat Marina at the Bab Al-Zubair college complex, serving as a vital artery connecting the Al-Ashar district with the university's Karma Ali campus, aimed at relieving traffic congestion and ensuring a smooth arrival for staff and researchers.
Professor Dr. (Saad Shaheen Hammadi) stated during the opening ceremony that this project represents a sustainable logistical solution to serve university personnel. The project, managed by Dr. (Labeed Al-Saad), included the construction of a floating platform for receiving boats, a bridge connecting the plaza to the dock, along with administrative infrastructure and modern entry gates.
The project's ambition extends to activating scientific river tourism to and from university research stations, with plans to establish additional stations in Al-Maqal, Al-Jazeera, and Shat Al-Arab areas. Operation is conducted in partnership with the Maritime Transport Directorate to ensure the highest safety standards using a fleet of modern passenger boats.
Furthermore, the University of Basrah aims through this strategic platform to expand into cultural and coastal sports activities, making the marina an integrated urban hub serving both the academic community and society in Basrah governorate.
