Railway Connection to Chabahar Port: Boosting Transport Infrastructure Capacity and Strengthening Iran’s North-South Corridor
Mohammadali Moghaddasi, Senior Director of Marketing and Communications, ADM Group
Lack of railway connection in Chabahar Port, a missed business opportunity!
He initially said: Since the northern and southern corridors of Iran have many infrastructure weaknesses, their position and location cannot be taken advantage of to the fullest.
The first major port of entry into the country is Chabahar Port, which has the largest draft with high draft and berthing of high-tonnage ships, and also does not threaten the international restrictions of this port, but unfortunately, the Iranian railway line is not connected to Chabahar Port.
He stated: The lack of connection of the south-north corridor not only eliminates the opportunity to optimally utilize the location of Iran’s entry ports, but also leads to an increase in the final price of goods, and in this case, due to the lack of competitiveness in the international market, the exporter will suffer losses. Also, due to the increase in sea distance, the cost of sea transportation will also increase.
