Highlighting Amirabad\u2019s geo-economic importance within the International North-South Transport Corridor<\/strong> (INSTC), Mousapour said the port\u2019s multimodal transport infrastructure and direct access to CIS markets have strengthened Iran\u2019s regional trade competitiveness.

Mr. Mousapour further stated that Amirabad is now Iran\u2019s second-largest port for essential commodity imports<\/strong>, handling more than half of all essential goods unloaded at northern Iranian ports.
