About This Seaport
Eighteen berths and a quoted capacity of around 3.8 million tonnes define Khorramshahr (IR KHO), a river port on the Arvand Rud (Shatt al-Arab) close to the Iraqi border and part of the Arvand Free Zone. It handles general cargo, bulk, vehicles, RoRo and breakbulk plus limited container traffic, and volumes are rising fast — about 1.13 million tonnes passed through in just the first four months of 2024/25, up 62% year on year. A channel depth of only about 7.9 m caps vessel size, so mainline container services bypass it. Typical exports include carpets, hides, dried fruit and rice, while imports range from machinery and vehicles to sugar, tea and textiles. Forwarders should note that international sanctions on Iran complicate customs clearance, insurance and carrier availability. For containers or larger volumes, Bandar Imam Khomeini (bulk and petrochemicals) and the Shahid Rajaee hub at Bandar Abbas are the practical alternatives.
