About This Seaport
Thirty-six berths stretched across roughly seven kilometres of quay and an annual throughput near 16 million tonnes place Bandar Imam Khomeini (IR BKM) among Iran's largest multipurpose ports, sitting at the head of the Persian Gulf in Khuzestan province. Its cargo mix is dominated by petrochemicals, grain, iron ore, sulphur and alumina rather than boxes; container volumes run around 40,000 TEU a year, so shippers moving pure containerised freight are better served by Bandar-e Shahid Rajaee near Bandar Abbas. A dedicated transit grain silo handles fast bulk discharge, while the adjoining Bandar Mahshahr petrochemical complex covers tanker and chemical parcels. As the rail terminus for Khuzestan, the port links road and rail to feed industry and agriculture across the south-west. Breakbulk, RoRo and heavy project cargo are routine here, making it a practical option for forwarders handling plant, agricultural and raw-material shipments. Customs and import-export clearance follow Iran's national maritime procedures administered through the Khuzestan ports authority.
