Iran, and Oman launched a new container shipping line\n to transit cargoes between the southern Iranian port city of Bandar \nAbbas and Port Sultan Qaboos in Oman, IRNA reported, quoting the head of\n Iran\u2019s Trade Promotion Organization (TPO).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to Hamid \nZadboum, the line which officially started operation on Saturday is \ngoing to be used to transit container cargoes, mainly fruits, and \nvegetables, between the two countries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Iran and Oman had signed a maritime cooperation agreement in December\n 2019 for boosting maritime transportation between the two countries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Based on the agreement, Iranian traders and businessmen would be able\n to interact constructively with their Omani counterparts, and regular \nshipping lines were to be established between the two countries, while \nthe two sides also pledged to provide facilities for using each other\u2019s \nports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Iran and Oman have already launched four direct shipping lines between the two countries’ ports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The first shipping route between the two countries was put into \noperation in March 2015 between Iran\u2019s Bandar Abbas and Oman\u2019s Sohar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Later in December 2016, the two neighbors inaugurated direct shipping\n routes from two Omani ports to the Iranian port of Shahid Bahonar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
