Umm Qasr Port (Persian Gulf deep-water port and naval area)

Iraq's only deep-water port, on the canalised Khawr az-Zubayr leading to the Khawr Abd Allah estuary and Persian Gulf. A busy commercial and naval harbour with controlled access; in-water/diving activity such as spearfishing is not permitted within active port and naval security areas. Lies within the broader Khawr Abd Allah / Al-Faw approaches already noted as navigation- and security-constrained.
