According to the port and maritime organization news portal, loading and unloading operations of oil and non-oil cargos have
increased by 40 percent since the beginning of this year.
Mr. Behrouz Aghaei stated that loading and unloading operations of non-oil cargos had
also increased by 59 percent compared to the same period last year.
He added, “development of infrastructure facilities and
equipment and granting special incentives to owners and investors in maritime fields
has caused the growth in cargos and container traffic at Shahid Beheshti port
in Chabahar.”
Director General of Ports and Maritime Affairs of Sistan and
Baluchestan Province stated, “in case the government allocates the dismemberment
of 20 percent of essential goods to Chabahar Port, this port will become one of
the most competitive ports in the Oman Sea region in transiting goods to
Afghanistan and Central Asia.”
