- Conduct a strategic review of the proposed deepening considering Bahrain’s place within world shipping markets, and in the context of other major ports in the Gulf.
- Identify the benefits to key stakeholders from dredging the Channel to the desired depths both now and in the light of anticipated growth.
- Assess the benefits in qualitative terms, and to the extent practical in quantitative terms via a discounted cash flow analysis of returns related to dredging the channel to 15m/15.5m/16m/16.5m/17m/17.5m/18m.
