Australia Is Going To Make The Biggest Coal Port Ever

As everyone know Australian main treasure is a Great Barrier Reef. For the long time it was restricted to implement any building projects on it territory.
However, recently there was given a green light by environmental protectors to make the biggest coal port ever.

The plans include dredging of more than 1 million cubic meters. Abbot Point port expansion project faced a lot of protests as it can damage the reef itself and harm its flora and fauna. But from the other side it will raise the trade volumes aimed at Asia markets.

Danish shipping giant Maersk Group has joined the WTO-backed Global Alliance for Trade Facilitation.

The news came at the 10th WTO Ministerial Conference held in Nairobi, Kenya. The Alliance consists of governments, multinational companies and the International Chamber of Commerce, as well as the World Economic Forum.

The 2 major goals which the TFA aims to reach are minimizing supply chain barriers and reinvigorating global trade. In order to achive that, the group will look into trade barriers in each country and work on removing the biggest obstacles to global trade.

The plan should benefit all countries and companies of the Alliance, as the WTO estimates that its full implementation could add USD 1 trillion to the global GDP and 21 million new jobs.
