PMO News Portal - Hamidreza Abaee stated that it is
necessary for Anzali and Astara ports to play a greater role in the transit of
goods and tourism. The ports of Caspian, Anzali and Astara had a 56 percent
increase in freight traffic in the first six months of this year compared to
the same period last year, which indicates that the ports of Gilan are reaching
their true potential in terms of sea transport.
Due to the increase in number of berths to 16, the positioning
of equipment in the berth is of considerable importance, which requires smart port
equipment, and for this purpose a contract has been signed with the University
of Guilan, which is currently in the study phase.
For a strong presence in Eurasia, plans such as offering
discounts, launching Ro-Ro and and container shipping lines are on the agenda,
Abaee underscored.
