    Iran: Astara port in Caspian Sea turns to new hub for container shipping

    (MENAFN)According to ILNA, the Managing Director of Khazar Shipping Company stated that, Astara Port, situated by the Caspian Sea, has turned out to be a new center for container shipping in the region following the inauguration of new shipping services from this port.

    "According to the plans, two regular transportation services will operate on this route weekly, one service from Astara to Aktau port and the other service is done from Anzali- Astara route to Aktau port," stated Davood Tafti, stating the organization of regular container transportation services from Astara port to Aktau port of Kazakhstan and Astrakhan in Russia.

    He further said that,: "One of the most important effects of launching a regular container shipping service between Astara and the ports of Aktau and Astrakhan is reducing land transportation rates and breaking the monopoly of land transportation so that as soon as the news of the activation of these regular container shipping services was announced, the road transportation rate in the region decreased to one thousand dollars," highlighting that the inauguration of these regular services has established a competitive environment among road and sea transport.
