The United States awarded a $4.8 million contract to Stevedoring Services of America (SSA) to manage the Iraqi port of Umm Qasr, facilitating the delivery of humanitarian supplies during the post-war reconstruction. This contract, announced by the US Agency for International Development (USAID), is part of a larger initiative involving eight civilian contracts valued at over $900 million. SSA's responsibilities include conducting a port assessment, developing improvement plans, and ensuring the efficient operation of the port. The awarding process has faced criticism for its lack of transparency and limited competition.
