Syria's planned expansion of the ports of Tartous and Lattakia will provide the nation with sufficient port capacity through the year 2000. The report's underlying assumption of an average one-shift per day loading rate is only possible if at both ports Syria: (1) implements a new, graduated tariff regime; (2) institutes unitized cargo handling; (3) improves coordination of road and rail transport to and from the ports; (4) improves the use of storage facilities and customs clearance procedures; and (5) develops a manpower training program.
