The representative of the people of Rasht in the Islamic Consultative Assembly, stating that the Ports and Maritime Organization is in charge of the maritime sector, said: “Any movements and creation of infrastructure in the maritime sector should be done in coordination with the Ports and Maritime Organization.”
According to the public relations of Ports and Maritime Authority
of Guilan Province, Jabbar Kouchaki Nejad on the sidelines of visiting the
Anzali Port Complex on Tuesday, January 5, told reporters: "Considering
that the specialists of the maritime sector in this organization have a high
capability, it is necessary for the relevant agencies and institutions to take
serious care to solve the problems of this sector in the province and the
country so that these obstacles can be removed more quickly and with the
development of this sector, Anzali Port can achieve its proper position in the
country's economy.”
Emphasizing that a part of Guilan's economy
depends on Anzali Port, he said: "By helping the managers of the economic
field, especially the Ports and Maritime Organization, we can make the economic
sectors of the province more dynamic.”
Referring to some inconsistencies between agencies, he added:
"Considering that we are in an unequal economic war, as a representative
of the people, we must eliminate the inconsistencies so that managers can
quickly flourish economic areas and increase the province's per capita
income."
Referring to the successful and appropriate
performance of Anzali port during the current year, Kouchaki Nejad
stated: “By changing the nature of imported and exported goods from iron and
wood to cereals, the Port Authority needed a change in infrastructure, which
was able to transform its infrastructure by rapidly updating the nature of the
port.”
The representative of Rasht people in the
Islamic Consultative Assembly expressed his satisfaction with the positive
performance and growth of maritime and port operations in Gilan province and said:
“Ports and maritime affairs of the province have performed well and we have
witnessed growth in the province's ports, especially Anzali Port Complex.”
Kouchaki Nejad, emphasizing the creation of a
covered berth in this port complex, said: "Proper planning should be done
by Anzali Port and Maritime Administration to increase the capacities of the
port, especially in the construction of covered berths.”
He called for more coordination and support to
increase exports and noted that the amount of exports should exceed the imports
to witness economic growth in the region and the province.
He also pointed to the role of Ports and
Maritime Authority of Guilan Province in providing basic goods and added: “priority
should be given to Anzali Port and the Ports and Maritime Organization. This
organization is one of the oldest organizations in the country and Anzali port
is one of the oldest ports in the Caspian Sea and therefore should be further
supported.”
Kouchaki Nejad called further development of
Anzali Port very necessary and said: "There is a good capacity in Anzali
Port Complex and due to the country's economic problems and oppressive
sanctions, this port should be strengthened and it is not advisable to develop
another port next to Anzali Port and waste the country's resources.”
