Foreign shipping lines are resuming container service to Iranian ports.
“Thai Wan Hai Company became the first
foreign shipping line that resumed operation in Iran after its ship
berthed in the Southern Iranian Shaheed Rajayee port on Tuesday morning,” reported Iran’s FARS News Agency. Wan Hai is headquartered in Taiwan, but has subsidiaries in a number of countries, including Thailand.
“This is for the first time that a ship of a foreign shipping line
berths in an Iranian port after Iran and the Group 5+1 [the U.S., Russia,
China, France and Britain plus Germany] reached an interim agreement in
Geneva on November 24.”
The news service said that last week, Deputy Head of Iranian Ports and Maritime Organization Ali
Jahandideh announced that the first foreign shipping line would resume
activities in Iranian ports in coming days, and three other shipping
lines would arrive at Shaheed Rajayee Port in Southern Iran soon.
