canals, Managing Director of ports and maritime organization stated that this
project has been implemented with a total credit of 1,900 billion Rls. within
20 months; and The total volume of dredging in this project is estimated at 5
million and 750 thousand cubic meters.

and 150 meters wide with a dredging volume of 5 million 42,146 cubic meters and
a final level of -10.8 meters; The area for passenger wharf is 300 meters long

call the port, but now, with the increase in the depth of canals, 30,000-ton
vessels can berth in Bushehr port, said Mohammad rastad.
Rastad emphasized: In Bushehr port, we are looking to adjust
the atmosphere from the traditional and enclosed area to a more open space,
which is the development of Negin Island which can be add upup to 500 hectares
to the port area.
To build superstructure facilities and equipment, we are
looking to enjoy the capabilities of the private sector in this port, and we
are sure that in addition to government infrastructure investment by the Ports
and Maritime Organization in the field of superstructure facilities, proper
investment by The private sector can be expected.
By operationalizing the access canal in Bushehr port, ships
up to 30,000 tons will be able to call the port; Having a suitable access canal
for berthing large ships will be an important feature for Bushehr port, and in
addition to this project, the passenger traffic capacity between Bushehr port
and khark Island and the southern countries of the Persian Gulf will also be
provided.
Considering that most of the ports' activities are dedicated
to basic commodities and Imam port is now a hub for basic commodities, the plan
is to distribute the load of imports of such goods among the main ports of the
country. Certainly, Most of these goods will be imported through Imam port and shares
of basic commodities load will be directed to Shahid Rajaei and Chabahar ports along
Bushehr port.
