WANA (Nov 26) – The Anzali Free Zone Authority’s Deputy for Ports and Caspian Affairs highlighted a 56% rise in ship dockings at Caspian Port, emphasizing the port’s growing role as a key hub for Iran’s trade with countries in the Caspian region.

 

In an interview this morning, Meysam Mohammadi-Nejad, Deputy for Ports and Caspian Affairs, reviewed the port’s performance over the first eight months of the year.

 

He stated that from the beginning of the year until November 21, a total of 259 ships docked at Caspian Port, marking a 56% increase compared to the same period last year.

 

Of these vessels, 139 carried imported goods, while 120 handled exports. During this period, more than 729,000 tons of cargo were moved through the port—a 60% increase from last year—reflecting growth in exports and a strengthened presence of Iranian goods in markets such as Russia, Kazakhstan, and Turkmenistan.

 

Mohammadi-Nejad further noted that the upward trend in exports from Caspian Port continues. Operational data indicate that, alongside consolidating its position in Caspian maritime trade, the port is advancing through projects such as warehouse expansion, increased transit capacity, and the establishment of multipurpose terminals.

 

These developments position Caspian Port as a major driver of economic cooperation between Iran and its northern neighboring countries.
