"The launched projects will definitely pave the way for
the presence of investors as well as further activity of traders in Chabahar
Port," Allahyar added. The Iranian official noted that: "The majority
of infrastructural achievements in Shahid Beheshti Port have been obtained by
the Iranian private sector and companies."
"The PMO has applied all of its experiences in the
construction and development of Chabahar Ports," he said.
“We can claim that the available facilities in Chabahar Port
are of most modern ones which means the port is getting prepared to receive
ocean ships and huge maritime vessels in the near future,” he said. He noted
that as the main Iranian ocean port, Chabahar Port is to facilitate
international transportation.
"According to Iran’s Comprehensive Plan for Commercial
Ports, the construction of the 2nd phase is expected to get started in
2026-2027," he informed.
"As predicted, the 1st phase has the required potential
to meet the demands in the next upcoming five years," he noted.
Allahyar expressed satisfaction that "Fortunately, in
port engineering and marine structures engineering, the Islamic Republic of
Iran has an excellent rating and in both designing and construction sectors,
Iranian consulting engineers and contractors are fully experienced and can
compete with their regional rivals."
“I am proud to announce that in the port construction [and
desigining] industry Iran is self-reliant, depending on domestic capabilities,”
he said.
"The 1st phase of the Shahid Beheshti Port development
plan was inaugurated three years ago by putting two piers into operation. The
recently inaugurated projects include those in the hinterland and facility
infrastructure required for port operations," Allahyar said.
