figures showed that the country’s ports had unloaded more
than 16.233 million mt of crude and oil products in the April-October period.
The figures come amid reports showing that Iran has
consistently increased its exports of crude oil and petroleum products in
recent months despite a regime of US sanctions that imposes restrictions on the
country’s oil sales.
figures showed that loading and unloading of non-oil
products in Iran’s southern and northern ports had reached a total of more than
73.246 million mt in the seven months to late October.
The data showed that container operation at Iranian ports
had experienced a rise over the same period.
more than 1.83 million twenty-foot equivalent container
units (TEUs) had been loaded and unloaded at the Iranian ports in
April-October, up 16% compared to the same period last year.
The figures also come despite the impacts of the ongoing
military conflicts in the West Asia region on shipping and trade.
authorities said last month that threats of an Israeli
attack on Iran’s oil installations had hardly affected operations at Shahid
Rajaee port which is Iran’s largest container port.
