The port of Amirabad owns a 59% share in maritime trade in the Caspian Sea. According to the Director General of the port, Mohammad Ali Musapur, imports of goods in this port have increased significantly due to private sector investments in the construction of bunkers and covered storage facilities, as well as the position of the port of Amirabad in the International North-South Transport Corridor.
It is expected that by the end of the Iranian year (March 20, 2024), a new record in the field of loading and unloading of goods will be registered at the port, Mohammad Ali Musapour noted.
