According to the public relations of
the Ports and Maritime Authority of Guilan Province, Hamid Reza Abaie, the
Director General, stating that the rolof ports in the transit of goods is
very important for us, emphasized: “Presence in the transit corridor causes the space and
facilities of the ports of Guilan province to be used to provide better and
faster services so that we can make the best use of them.”
Stating that
the ports of Anzali and Astara in Guilan province should play a great role in
the transit of goods and tourism, Abaie clarified: “these two issues are among
our high goals, of course, we have to use the capacities that we have created,
such as accepting ships, bringing more cargo to Anzali, and creating capacities
that can accommodate more ships in this port.”
He also said
about Caspian port: “Caspian Port is one of the ports that has been established
in Anzali Free Zone and is currently providing services.”

56% Growth in Freight Traffic in Caspian, Anzali and Astara Ports
Abaie pointed
to the movement of goods in the ports of Guilan province in the first six
months of this year and added: the movement of goods in the ports of Caspian,
Anzali and Astara in the first six months of this year has increased by about
56 percent compared to the same period last year. This performance shows that
the ports of Guilan are reaching their true position in terms of sea
transportation, but we still have a long way to go.
The Director
General of Ports and Maritime Authority of Guilan pointed to the smartening of
ports and said: “considering the increase of wharves from 10 posts to 16 posts,
we need to know how the equipment is located in the wharf. This requires
smartening of port equipment. For this purpose, a contract has been signed with
the University of Guilan, which is currently in the study phase.”
He pointed to
the very important role of Guilan ports in Eurasia and added: "The most
transportation of goods and trade is done by sea and Guilan province plays a
very important role in maritime transport. For this reason, we will play a
significant role in Eurasia. For a strong presence in Eurasia, programs such as
offering discounts, launching "Ro-Ro" lines, launching container
lines and using the capacity of Eurasian countries are on the agenda.”

the Terms of the Contract, We Have No Delay in the Chamkhaleh Port Project

about the Chamkhaleh port project: “Chamkhaleh port is a port for recreational

be able to provide services of passenger and cruise ships to tourists. We hope
that the responsible agencies, such as the Ministry of Industry, Mines and
Trade and the Environment Organization, will cooperate so that the companies
working on this project can provide the appropriate ships and boats for the
Chamkhaleh project.”
Noting that the
port of Chamkhaleh has 40% physical progress, he said: "The duration of
this project is 36 months and according to the contract, we have no delays. The main problem in the implementation of this project
is the provision of stone materials, which if this issue is resolved, the
infrastructure of Chamkhaleh tourist port will be ready and investors can
participate in this project."

70 billion Tomans, which can be increased up to 100 billion.”
