The Director General of Ports and Maritime Authority of Guilan Province, referring to the implementation of the large container terminal project in Anzali Port, said: "Global monitoring of the Caspian Sea is done with the aim of preventing illegal constructions."
According to the Public Relations of
the Ports and Maritime Authority of Guilan Province, Hamidreza Abaie in an
interview, referring to the amount of loading and unloading of goods in the
ports of Guilan Province, said: “fortunately, with the coordination and good
measures taken in this field, including the development of infrastructure and
the use of efficient equipment, we saw a 56% growth in imports and exports of
goods in the first six months of this year.”
Referring to the effective activities of Caspian Port, Anzali Port and Astara
Port in the field of maritime transportation, the Director General of Ports and
Maritime Authority of Guilan Province added: “these activities caused the ports
of Guilan to reach their true status. The volume of loading and unloading of
goods in Anzali Port for the current year was more than 750,000 tons, which is
equal to a growth of 53%.”
Abaie assessed
the volume of non-oil exports of the province in the first 6 months of this
year as favorable and said: "This volume of exports caused us to provide a
better place to use round trip loaded ships and our goal is that every ship
that brings goods to Anzali Port, do not return empty on the way back, so that
the interests of the country and exporters are secured.”
Pointing out
the importance of using the capacity of refrigerated containers in the ports of
Guilan province, he said: “We are looking for multi-purpose ports, and in order
to be multi-purpose, port conditions should be shifted to activities other than
the handling of grain and miscellaneous goods, and container and bulk
operations should be considered.”
The Director
General of Ports and Maritime Authority of Guilan Province announced the use of
container transportation capacities as one of the main priorities of Anzali
Port and stated: “Anzali Port has a special place in container transportation,
so that in the first 6 months of this year, container operations in this port
grew by 73%.”
Abaie added:
"Products such as fruits and vegetables and some perishable materials need
refrigeration, so we are providing the necessary conditions in this regard, and
according to the coordination we had with the Caspian littoral countries, Anzali
Port and Astara port, we have installed about 68 connection plugs for
refrigerated containers in Anzali Port.”
The Director
General of Ports and Maritime Authority of Guilan Province, referring to the installation
of 12 plugs for connecting refrigerated containers in Astara port, said: “using
refrigerated containers is always a priority so that we can achieve more
success in exporting fruits and vegetables produced in Guilan and other neighboring
provinces.”
He added:
"fortunately, with the measures taken, we exported two refrigerated containers,
including fruits and vegetables produced by Guilan and West Azerbaijan Provinces,
to Kazakhstan, and we hope to see direct and regular lines of container
operations between Guilan ports and the Caspian littoral states."
Abaie announced
the implementation of the large container terminal project in Anzali port and
said: “the necessary infrastructure in this area is being provided, including
the collection of surface water and canalization that is underway. Of course, we
also have the arrangement of installation connections and power supply to the
docks on the agenda.”
Referring to
the monitoring of Guilan coasts and ports to combat illegal occupation of coasts
and unauthorized constructions in Guilan province, he noted: "This program
is underway and we will immediately submit the relevant reports to the
responsible and judicial authorities of the province. Meanwhile, nationwide
monitoring of the Caspian Sea has already begun.”
