The projects were officially launched via video conference in the presence of President Dr. Masoud Pezeshkian and the Minister of Roads and Urban Development, underscoring the government’s continued focus on strengthening maritime infrastructure and logistics capacity nationwide.
Major Developments in Hormozgan
In Hormozgan Province, several key projects were completed at Shahid Rajaee Port, Iran’s largest commercial port. These included the construction of container and transit/export cargo terminals, commissioning of a pilot boat, deployment of five new transtainers (RTG cranes), and expansion of strategic port equipment capacity.
The projects are expected to increase container handling capacity by more than 166,000 TEUs and create employment for 330 people. Investments totaling €29.5 million by the private sector and €16 million by the Ports and Maritime Organization will significantly accelerate container operations.
Additional works included major repairs to the port’s perimeter wall and coastal protection infrastructure in Qeshm, aimed at enhancing safety and preventing coastal erosion.
Strengthening Food Security in Gilan
At Anzali Port Complex, a 40,000-ton crude edible oil storage facility was inaugurated under a 20-year BOT contract, with an investment of 2,350 billion rials. The project increases total edible oil storage capacity at the port from 16,000 tons to 56,000 tons, reinforcing food security and logistics resilience in northern Iran.
The facility generates 22 direct and 66 indirect jobs and reduces transportation and supply chain costs.
Infrastructure Expansion in Bushehr
Three major infrastructure projects were launched in Bushehr Province, including the access road and bridge to Negiin Port Complex, a new operational center building at Dayyer Port, and the construction of a jetty and breakwater at Boukheir Port.
These projects aim to enhance maritime services, improve accessibility, and strengthen economic activity along Bushehr’s coastline.
Investment Projects in Mazandaran
At Amirabad Port, three infrastructure and investment projects worth 3,035 billion rials were put into operation, including electrical equipment upgrades, road widening, and a railway level crossing project. The developments are expected to improve operational efficiency and connectivity at one of northern Iran’s key ports.
Officials emphasized that the inauguration of these projects reflects the government’s strategic commitment to expanding port capacity, attracting private investment, enhancing logistics performance, and supporting regional economic development.
