Land corridors are great visions, but make no economic sense. Unloading from a ship, loading on a train, transporting by train, unloading from the train and loading on the next ship. This takes time, energy and very much port space. It just doesn't pay. The corridor between Turkey and Iraq gives Turkey a new port in the Persian Gulf and it gives Iraq a port in Turkey. The Arabs might connect the new railway systems in Sauid-Arbai and the Gulf Emirates with Iraq to get a direct connection to Turkey.

[@PedanticNo1]

Unless the US stops guarding shipping routes. Then, land corridors may have more ability to compete on a cost basis, as insurance for shipping will inevitably skyrocket.

[@plinble]

Big port there serves Iraq, Jordan, parts of Syria and Eastern Turkey? Plus canal all the way to Bagdhad may or may not be a good idea, what would you move that's better by ship than train? Coal, but coal is getting banned? Water? Can you desalinate with a high level condensing chamber so the water flows miles and miles for free? London moves a lot of rubbish out by ship and barge to recycling facilities somewhere, delays don't matter.

There are two major factors that will make all these schemes fail and will never replace the conventional ones (Suez, Panama, Malacca, Bosphorous) : 1. These schemes involve more than one country (except for Thai corridor). This puts in a new factor of crossing many borders. The key succes factor of the Suez, Panama, etc is they're all under one country. 2. These schemes involve exchanging multiple types of transports as oppose to just one single ship. *INSTEAD OF SIMPLIFYING* the schemes still require the use of ships and worse they make the journey more complex by adding more transportation types (trains, trucks, pipes) and increase risk factors to the journey (loading/unloading, crossing borders, traffic problems, etc).

[@louisgiokas2206]

Well put. One has to remember that the current shipping routes came about "naturally" according to economics. With the exception of the initial investment in Suez, all the current routes do not require capital investment.

[@reallifeengineer7214]

I agree. Makes no sense. At first few seconds of the video, I was actually like “WTH? They gonna build a canal cutting through how many countries?” Later when I saw the idea was to unload the ship, load containers onto trains, … Right… Not a chance. Adds too much delay. That ship would have crossed Suez Canal and be in the Mediterranean before the train route finished reloading the next ship at Turkey.

​@@reallifeengineer7214 i dont think the turkey one is bad because you could simply load the trains in Iraq and send them directly into europe without unloading it, also, even if you would send them to a port in turkey, not everything in a ship goes to the same place, so they could reload them into a more direct route to its real destination. A new suez/panamá-like canal in thayland would be nice, and would atract a lot of foreign investment, but loading and reloading goods just to avoid passing through malacca is just too much work.

This scheme cannot compete against the Suez Canal..

[@thenuad]

How can this be financially feasible? You say that the fees for the largest container ships to pass through the Suez Canal were around $500,000. The largest container ships can carry up to, and, in some cases, over 12 thousand containers. That breaks down to about $42 per container. Even if you ommit loading/unloading of the containers at this new port (since you'll still have to do that in any case), moving the containers via the rail system for 1200+ miles over less than secure territory would cost considerably more in both time and money. Even if the containers were to be shipped over the rail after being unloaded in some of the existing destinations, this new corridor solution is still a considerably more expensive proposition (unless, of course, the containers are being shipped to Iraq or Turkey).

[@ASmithee67]

The cost of transportation is water/ship --> rail --> truck --> airplane. All of the new corridor plans shown on this video have a "unload ship --> truck/rail --> load ship" component that cannot be cost competitive with an existing all ship transportation system. Can all of these new corridor plans be supplemental transport systems for surplus traffic. Yes. Replacement of existing ship transport systems like Suez...? No

Fundamental issue has been ignored for too long. These developing countries have forgotten how the World Order was constructed for free trade under the democracy in the United Nations. The pillar of the current world order is non other than the United States of America. US defeated single handedly facism, or rather enemies of democracy, and created the United Nations, the financial system. But, what every member forgot was that the United States provided the world the global security with its almighty Naval forces in the seven seas, where no other nations could provided. The BRICS, Iran, Iraq, Saudi and many other nations in Asia enjoyed the free trade the US insured with its military power. And they got rich off the United States trade deficit. The US gave a part of its wealth envisioning that these countries would enjoy the wealth and freedom of individual freedom and democracy. But, this colorful idealism of the Americans backed fire. It just made the her anti-American, anti-democracy enemies richer and militarily stronger. The US ended up nurturing anti-American nations all over the world. President Trump realized the disastrous experiment a mistake and decided to end the trade deficit, and thus the end globalism that the Americans envisioned. Trump's vision is to create a new world trade system so America's friends who appreciate individual freedom and democracy can continue to strive for wealth and peace. To join such new Order under the United States, nations must pass the litmus test that prove they have become a true free and democratic country and embrace American values. This means the world has lost its policeman to protect them from all evils the Americans have been containing after the WWII. From now on, the US will protect only the members of the free world who embrace democracy as their core value. Now, you understand that these anti-American nations will not succeed without global security within their trade groups. None of the anti-American members have the military might to patrol the seven seas, the air, their lands and space. Not Russia, not China, not France, not even EU can provide global security for their trade. The US is the only country that can single handedly defeat the rest of the world. Now that the US has abandoned the Old World Order, such as the United Nations, Our planet has entered a new stage of human advancement in history.

[@FischerNilsA]

"single handedly...." Yeah, right - fact check: 75% of german losses in WW2 where inficted by the soviets in the east. With all western allies AND guerillia groups making up just the last quarter of the Reichs losses. The US basically came into that war very late, and mopped up the broken rest of the german war machine at a low cost. Smart, letting others do the heavy lifting before getting involved. Also - have you been asleep in recent months? The US couldnt even defend the Hormuz strait from a small local militia. Being able to win a quick war with overwhelming force isnt the same as being able to exert permanent control. The absurdly large mountains of bambam you have instead of a functioning state nonwithstanding, the US hegemony is strategically overstretched and its control is slipping. Couldnt even manage to subdue a tiny developing nation for 20 years straight. Trumps inane unilateralism and lack of understanding will just hasten that process. Enjoy the tariffs that you will have to pay and the manufactured lack of workforce he plans to burn mountains of money on.

The main economic argument however is not being addressed in this article. No amount of economic shenanigins can avoid the basic fact that shipping by water (Sea) is by far the most effective and economic mode for transporting everything except very high value goods that can absorb the coast of air travel. Rail transport is competitive up to about 1000 to 1500 miles but after that, shipping by sea wins hands down.

[@SeattlePioneer]

Talking and doing are two different things. And getting numerous different countries to cooperate rather than to sabotage the route would be a major problem.

[@chonpincher]

The key issue here is the delay and expense of transferring containers between ships and trains. Any proposed new transport “shortcut” that entails an additional two such transfers (one at each end) will have a high economic hurdle to overcome. Only a detailed cost analysis can determine whether any such scheme will be profitable. Without that, the presumption must be that it probably isn't. What does make sense is building pipelines for oil and gas. In this case, the main hurdles are usually political rather than economic.

[@gregparrott]

Thumbs up for the content. The economics of offloading one ship, loading many trains, transit by rail, then re-load a second ship, makes no sense compared to one ship spending a few more days at sea. The largest container ships transport 11,000+ 40 foot containers. Most trains pull no more than 100 rail cars, with each car holding 2 containers (stacked). Using those numbers, it would take 55 locomotives, each pulling 100 rail cars, JUST FOR ONE SHIP. To effect that move within a 24 hour period, that's one locomotive + 100 rail cars every 26 minutes. How long would a rail line last with that much use? How severe a bottleneck would occur if a derailment or regional conflicts prompted sabotage? How reliable would it be? P.S. It was odd to have the (likely AI generated) voice change when presenting Thailand's approach ( starting at 22:16), from that of a U.S. citizen to that of someone from England.

Iraq-Turkey are not competing with Suez Canal. They are competing with Ben Gurion Canal.

[@ichifish]

A number of commenters are saying that the overland route is inefficient because of the issues with loading/unloading cargo at ports. I don't disagree, but 1) the suez canal IS a cost / security issue, and 2) more importantly, actual people, rather than containers, will use the overland routes. Most of them aren't wealthy enough to fly and/or will be transporting themselves and lower-value products. This is a really important factor: image the US or China without highways or trainlines, only airports connecting a few cities and you get the idea.

Indian corridor will revitalize European economy like it did in ancient times

[@lacdirk]

At that time, India had a bigger and more advanced economy than Europe. That time is long gone.

[@ThePatrickykm]

The West is determined to make India the catalyst for Europe's economic growth, aiming to once again impose their imperialistic values and control over a nation. However, India will not fall into this trap again. India will forge its own path, independent of the West's influence and slavery.

I've always thought that the loading and unloading of freight from a ship is a large part of the expense. Also, cuttings over about 80m start getting expensive for canals. Moving by ship is much cheaper than rail, if you're not so bothered by speed?

China only uses Africa as a source of raw materials and a market to dump substandard goods and services in. It's a colonial relationship, which will benefit the corrupt and authoritarian African elites, just like it did before. But yes, it's good for China.

Unfortunatley China has already built high speed rail lines to connect to Rotterdam via Moscow and St Petersburg where it connects to shipping through the Baltic to Atlantic ports. Russia and Iran are connecting Moscow to the Red Sea via the Caspian Sea and high speed freight rail lines and onwards to India and Africa by ships and China has the Silk Road lines to Turkey that connects with the Iran - Moscow line. Since it only takes 30 hours for freight to reach St Petersburg by rail and a further ten hours or less to Rotterdam it is doubtful whether there will be enough value left for the Iraq-Turkey project, especially as Russia and China are developing the Arctic shipping route that will deliver LNG from Siberia to Europe and elsewhere and Egypt will drop its freight charges to keep its business which it can do since the capital cost of the canal was written of by the French and British.
