The estimated cost is 15 billion dollars, with an execution time of approximately 10 years. The initiative foresees the passage of freighters with a capacity greater than 300 thousand tons, and the transportation of 10 thousand containers in 24 hours.
Among the nations interested in developing the mega work are the United States, China, Italy, Spain, Japan, South Korea, and Qatar.
