Final UN annex warns that small-plant replacement costs follow a nonlinear curve

For several years in the middle of the war, production at all chemical plants was virtually halted, the annex stated. It described a period of severe sector-wide interruption, without supplying...

The annex’s production history indicated losses on the order of 30 million tonnes of petrochemical products over eight years. This was a cumulative output-loss estimate, not a count of destroyed...

Table B.3 reported refinery reconstruction expenditure of 8,646 million rials and $162 million during the war, followed by 10,388 million rials and $195 million after the ceasefire. The figures...

Table B.4 reported petrochemical reconstruction expenditure of 15,535 million rials and $291 million during the war, then 33,315 million rials and $624 million after the ceasefire. Monetary...

The mission used an oil-industry rule of thumb of $10,000 per barrel per day of capacity for replacing large plants. Its roughly $5 billion downstream rebuilding estimate was a coarse cross-check, not...

The mission converted the reported rial component at 300 rials per dollar in 1990 prices, obtaining about $729 million. Adding $4,098 million in foreign-exchange needs gave about $4,827 million,...

Iran’s single-track railway network grew from 4,570 kilometres in 1980 to 4,834 in 1988, the annex reported. Annual passengers rose from five million to 6.8 million; national growth coexisted with...

Iranian Railways carried 5.7 million tonnes of freight in 1980 and 12.5 million in 1988, the annex reported. Growth in national traffic did not establish that war-damaged lines and stations had...

Between 1980 and 1988, freight wagons increased from 12,150 to 13,312, passenger coaches from 760 to 925, and locomotives from 418 to 531. These national inventories are distinct from counts of...

Iran’s railway loss inventory listed 150 kilometres of lines as 100 percent damaged. The annex presented this government-reported physical measure separately from partial damage to buildings,...
