oil product unloading totaled 23.53 million tons,
while unloading of non-oil products reached 44.16 million tons, bringing the
total unloaded goods to 67.69 million tons.
Oil product loading at PMO-controlled ports amounted to
64.41 million tons, and non-oil product loading totaled 62.69 million tons,
resulting in a combined loading volume of 127.10 million tons by the end of the
10-month period.
The total volume of oil product loading and unloading during
this period stood at 87.94 million tons, while non-oil product operations
accounted for 106.84 million tons. Altogether, 194.79 million tons of oil and
non-oil products were handled.
The ports handled 2.57 million twenty-foot equivalent units
(TEUs) of containers during this period, marking a 13 percent increase compared
to the same period last year, which saw 2.28 million TEUs processed.
Iran’s ports have a total nominal capacity of over 260
million tons per year, allowing them to handle a wide range of oil and non-oil
commodities. Key ports, such as Shahid Rajaei Port in Hormozgan Province,
account for a significant portion of the country’s trade activity due to their
advanced infrastructure and strategic location along international shipping
routes.
Investments in port infrastructure have further enhanced the
efficiency of loading and unloading operations, reducing turnaround times for
vessels.
