TABNAK, Nov, 25 : According to a report by the Iranian Ports and Maritime Organization, 18.299 million tons of oil products were unloaded in Iranian ports during the eight months (March 22-November 21) included.
However 34.835 million tons of non-oil products were unloaded in the ports during the mentioned period.
52.670 million tons of oil products were loaded, with the digit for non-oil products has been 49.623 million tons.
While Iran is combating the U.S. unilateral sanctions on its economy, the country’s ports as the major gates of exports and imports play a significant role in this battle.
This role makes all-out support to ports and more development of them serious and vital.
Such necessity has led the government to define projects for more development of the ports and also take some measures to encourage investment making in ports, in addition to facilitating the loading and unloading of goods, especially basic commodities, there.
It is worth mentioning that Iran’s Ports and Maritime Organization has defined a high number of projects to develop and improve the country’s ports, as the country aims to double the capacity of its ports in five years.
Ports and Maritime Organization has put it on the agenda to attract 300 trillion rials (about $600 million) of investment from the private sector in the country's ports by the end of the current Iranian calendar year (late March 2025).
