The group said the bottom line is the line drawn by the sea in the low Islands to him, and is usually located some distance from the coast of Kuwait. This makes it far from the edge of the navigation channel at the narrowest point it at about 1300 m, while away from the maritime boundary drawn by the United Nations about 4 thousand meters to the narrowest point of it. She has confirmed this information to the Committee after the members are studying sizes and dimensions of the port Line Islands, the lowest line of the top D on the ground and compare the sizes provided by the Kuwaiti side.

The commission found that the third phase are still just ideas in general, not designed yet to be implemented, being a «long-term, according to the need». Which is open the door to further understanding with the Iraqi side about this stage deferred.

And demands of this paragraph the two countries «to respect the inviolability of international borders as demarcated by the Commission, and the right to navigational access, in accordance with international law and Security Council resolutions relevant».
The request of the Iraqi delegation pledged to Kuwaitis against the establishment of the fourth stage, but the Kuwaiti side said no need for such an undertaking , the fact that the fourth phase is already included in the project. To address the bow in the navigation channel, the two sides agreed to reduce the unit rotation in the channel, corresponding to the port of Mubarak, ensuring smoother and the freedom of navigation, that are required to ensure the depth of the navigation channel. Was approved by the Kuwaiti side to take on the responsibility of the implementation of this coordination with the Iraqi side.

Thus it was the adoption of three phases of the project only. Anger here asked: Can you confirm cancel? Said the neighbor of God: We did not adopt the first place, even inflate them now. The Kuwaiti side a detailed explanation of maps and images to the method of selecting site the existing port, from the 3 options were on the table, but was selected the current site as the location most appropriate shipping and economically, at least in terms of environmental impacts, in addition to explain the three stages. and sources say the committee that the Iraqi side was satisfied with the proposals of the Kuwaiti side, and three phases, and confirm the absence of a breakwater. and then showed the Iraqi side of his fear that the distance between the edge of the docks and the edge of the navigation channel (250 m) may be tight, which stunts navigation for ships heading north to Iraq, and lead to slow down the track navigation.
However, the Kuwaiti side explained the maps that make sure the Iraqi side of the health of sizes himself that the narrowest point between the edge of the harbor and navigation channel is 1300 meters, 4 kilometers from the border line. He said the Kuwaitis are not possibility for contention because of the wide distance in addition to technological progress, which regulates and guarantees safe passage and smooth in the navigation channel. He said the Iraqi side that there are studies confirm the presence of environmental damage is negative, in addition to the potential for erosion on the coasts of Iraq and the sediment, impeding navigation on the Iraqi side of the Creek, But the Kuwaiti side made a presentation and a comprehensive environmental studies which demonstrate the absence of significant adverse effects on the navigation channel and the environment.

Rest assured that the port facilities located between the lowest islands and land, in the sense that the port is not located on water bodies but also between the baseline and the Kuwaiti coast.
