Located in Iran’s southern province of Hormozgan, Shaid Rajaee is the country’s largest and best-equipped container port.
Enjoying the most modern container terminals and port equipment, Shahid Rajaee accounts for 85 percent of the total loading and unloading at the Iranian ports.
Given its significant role in the country’s import and export of products as well as transit and transshipment via Iran, development of Shahid Rajaee Port is among the most important development projects in the country.
And to expedite its development, benefitting from the potential and capabilities of the private sector is seriously pursued.
