l'ag•lOJ COALITION PROVISIONAL AUfHORITY BAGHDAD INFO MEMO December 1, 2003 FOR: THE ADMINISTRATOR FROM: Darren Trent, Senior Advisor to the Iraqi Ministry of Transportation SUBJECI': Ministry of Transportation Issues Update I. RAILROADS • Unsatisfactory Rafl Service: Service interruptions during the celebration of Eid coupled with minor derailments have caused a backup of traffic articularl south ofBa dad. CPA railroad advisors held a meeting with the (b)(S) and senior managers to discuss currently unsatisfactory service levels and to discuss options for making improvements. • Work Begins on Rail Workshop: Bechtel bas established a roadway equipment maintenance workship in Shalichiya in order to facilitate the rvfurbishment of a 60 km stretch of track in southern Iraq. Three trailers are in place for office and material storage, and local guards w~ hired to protect the job site. This workshop will provide Iraqi subcontractors with the necessary equipment used to Idlabilitate and maintain the railroad. This section of railroad is expected to be completed bymid-2004. • Key RaU Bridge Status: Military operations in the vicinity of Akashat forced a two week delay of construction on a critical bridge near Akashat (approximately 15 k:m from the Syrian border). Work has now resumed. Once completed, the Akashat bridge will reopen the railway between the phosphate mine at Akashat and the SPP Fertilizer Plant in A1 Qaim. The bridge and track is expected to be completed by January lS, 2004. The fertilizer plant is tentatively planning to resume production on January 1, 2~. • RaBway Employees Die Ill AutomobHe A«ldent: Tragically, an automobile aceident on November 23 2003 claimed the· lives of three Iraqi Rail Road (IRR) employees, including li)(S) the Director of Operations. The JRR employees were returning from the inauguration of the Iraq-Sryia international passenger train service that now connects the cities ofMosul and Aleppo. CPA representatives attended the memorial service. II. AVIATION • DBL Investigation: A DHL cargo aircraft was apparently hit by a shoulder launched surface-to-air missile at Baghdad International Airport on November 22, 2004. The preliminary investigation by the Iraqi Ministry of Transportation indicates that the D:m. aircrew did not follow the recommended procedures of tactical evasive maneuvers designed to reduce the risk of such strikes. The CPA Ministry of Transportation bas since reissued the recommendation with additional restrictions. The investigation also UNCLASSIFIED 1 . ' . Ploge104 UNCLASSIFIED identified inadequacies in CJTF-7 efforts to sufficiently cover the area outside of the airport parameter with patrols. CJTF-7 is responsible for Man Portable Air Defense System (MANP AD) suppression and the U.S. Army is reportedly taking steps to improve MANP AD suppression efforts. The official investigation by the U.S. military is ongoing and the official report is pending. • AlrliDe Insurance Issues: As a result of the October 22nd missile attack on the DHL aircraft, both DHL and Royal Jordanian are having difficulties securing insunmce for flights into Iraq. The nervous insurance industry may raise rates to a level that prohibits civil aviation from flourishing in Iraq. The CPA Ministry of Transportation is taking steps to allay the concerns of the insurance industry and is trying to help keep the rates at a fair and reasonable level • Meteorology: The Iraqi Ministry of Transportation is taking steps to restart the meteorology service for Iraqi aviation. On November 30, 2003, CPA representatives and the Director General for Meteorology Mohauad M. Shafik conducted a site survey of the Baghdad International Ailport (BIAP) meteorology buildings. The meteorology buildings were completely looted during coalition operations, apparently by U.S. forces. As a result, significant renovations are necessary before weather equipment (donated by the Italian government) can be installed. • Air Navigation System (ANS) Contract: The Ministry of Transportation has completed the selection process to identify the winner of a contract to supply an ANS for Iraqi commercial aviation. The tumkey ANS solution will include the equipment and software required for aircraft to safely navigate within Iraqi airspace. Once the proper equipment is up and running, civil air carriers will be able to takCHltT and land kom all the major airports day or night, and in adverse weather. Currently, civilian flights are restricted to day Visual Flight Rules(VFR) only, which severely restricts the amount of cargo and passengers that can be serviced. The winner is likely to be announced on December 5, 2003. • Hajj Fllgbts: The Iraqi Governing Council bas formed a committee to oversee efforts to fly Iraqi citizens to Saudi Ambia to participate in the annual Hajj. The three-person committee will travel to Saudi Ambia to find out the exact quota of persons Iraq can send to the Hajj this year. The dates for the trip have not yet been set. In an effort to identify appropriate airfields to support these Iraqi Hajj flights, CJTF-7 has drafted a threat assessment which is in the final stages of coordination within CJTF-7. Once CJTF-7 bas provided this threat assessment to relevant CPA and Iraqi parties, a coordinateA recommcudation will be presented for consideration by Ambassador Bremer and the Governing Counci1.

MARITIME • OD For Food (OFF) Sblpmeats at tbe Port: The port ofUmm Qassr continues to carry out nonnaJ operations, however, ships with cargo being shipped under the United Nations OFF program have been experiencing some delays in off-loading. The CPA Oil For Food (OFF) Coordination Center is working with the relevant ministries to coordinate the expedited movement of goods. • Port Security: CPA personnel working at the Port ofUmm Qasr are focused on unresolved port force protection and security concerns. The port remains a soft target with British units on a higher than ''normal" state of alert. The general threat to the region continues to be possible mortar/rocket attacks and car bombings. If a single mortar round were to hit its target, the port would likely be closed thereby eliminating the current permissive working enviromnent. CPA Ministry ofTransportation bas requested that the Multinational Division Southeast (MND-5E) conduct a security assessment of the port in light of the pending departure or British forces ftom the port. • Inadequate .Fire Protec:tfon at the Port: The port ofUmm Qasr lacks adequate fire protection. Although the Iraqi fire station appears to be adequately staff by Iraq fireman, the two fire trucks do not operate. Since April 2003, there have been three fires at the port, two of which occurred at the abandoned sulfur facility which has not been operated for twen~ years. In July 2003, the third fire occurred when a fuel truck caught tire and exploded. These fires eventually b\D'Ded themselves out or were later put out by water tnlcks. Since then. no transfers of liquid petroleum products have been authorized. Two or three brand new Mercedes fire trucks may be provided to Umm Qasr i '- (b ~ )(e ~~----::-..... (member of the London Fire Brigade and reserve Royal Marine Sergeant) at CPA South successfully arranges this. • Iraq Coastal Defense Patrol Boats: The CMATT (Coalition Military Assistance Training Team) is moving full speed ahead on plans to establish a local base of operations for coastal patrols near the port ofUrnm Qasr. CMA TT intends to establish the facility in the new port at the UK Forces building. Occupation of this structure by CMATT allows the British to return and have a local base of operations to coordinate the logistics of UK chartered vessels. An amount of$500,000 has been authorized to establish blast-proof barriers around the building and surrounding property. This work is to be completed by January 21, 2004. IV. SECUR11Y Better Vetting System Needed: The Ministry ofTransportation has researched various options to stand up a new security vetting system for Iraqi personnel. One system, created by the Defense Adv~ Research Projects Agency (DARPA), is cunently being evaluated by CPA and military intelligence personnel.
