...come in or not, Kurdistan is already booming. On the border with Turkey, about a half-hour drive from the DNO rig, it's clear Kurdistan has become Europe's gateway to Iraq. Trucks from Turkey, Austria, Bulgaria, Germany and the Netherlands are backed up for many kilometers. Sea cargo from Dubai is diverted through Jordan, Syria and Turkey before reaching Kurdistan, where it is transferred to Iraqi trucks before proceeding to Baghdad. That route is the only choice: driving north through Iraq from the Persian Gulf is too dangerous. As one flies into Arbil, the sole sign...

The port is already ice-free five months of the year, and with some judicious ice- breaking that season could be extended by a full 30 days on either end.
