1.3 Industrial Background of the Study
1.3.a Origin of the Industry
Due to the increase in the volume of imports into Iran since early 1960, consequence of which
was to employ many foreign flag vessels to trade within Iranian ports caused some concerns to
the country. In addition, the need and importance of a regular carriage of goods by sea and
considering peculiar geographical characteristic, accessibility to open seas, with having had long
water boundary and water ways to and from Iran made the necessity in initiating a research study
to establish the first and biggest integrated national shipping lines. The result of the research
study, which was started in 1961, was approved by the first general assembly meeting to
establish Iranian National Shipping Company on August 1967 with the name of Aria Shipping
Lines.
Aria Shipping started its activity in 1967 by two small size vessels with capacity of 1000 and
1550 tones in Persian Gulf area and 4 ocean going vessels, namely, Aria Sep, Aria Far, Aria Naz
and Aria Gaam with the total capacity of 61,252 tones that had been put into service between the
Persian gulf-Europe, Asia and America. By the end of 1978 the number of Aria shipping vessels
was 42 with the total capacity of 525,000 DWT which proved the increasing of the sea
transportation volume by Aria shipping lines and its effective role in Iran economy.
2
After the Islamic Revolution and change of economical and political policy on January 5, 1979,
the authority renamed the Aria Shipping to Islamic Republic of Iran Shipping Lines (IRISL) and
affiliated the company to the ministry of commerce.
During the Iran Iraq War, numerous vessels such as Aria Boom, Aria Jahan, Aria Shaad, Aria
Omid, became total losses due to missile attacks, as a result of which, the IRISL suffered dearly.
After this period, the names of all the vessels were changed to those of martyrs and cities - with
the prefix "IRAN".
However since American sanctions (over Iran's support for various groups and Peaceful nuclear
program) have begun to hinder IRISL has taken to quickly renaming its ships under shell
companies in order to continue trading in banned goods
The International Maritime Organization has 140 member states with Iran ranking among the top
20. Iran plans to add 16 cargo ships to its naval fleet by mid-March 2010 to increase the total
capacity to 5.8 million deadweight tons. The number of cargo ships in 2009 has reached 154,
from 138 in 2008.

1.3.b Growth and Development of the Industry
Negotiations for building six 75,000 DWT Panamax bulk carriers and 10 Handymax bulk
carriers with the capacity of 53,000 DWT have been finalized with Iran Shipbuilding & Offshore
Industries Complex Co. (ISOICO) and SADRA shipyards respectively and if the prices are
finalized, total value of contracts signed with domestic shipyards will surpass $600 million.
To support domestic industries, manufacturing containers inside the country has been
encouraged. The first such contract, worth $10 million, was signed in 2001. It called for the
production of 5,000 Twenty-foot equivalent units (TEU) worth of containers and, so far, 1,600
containers have been delivered. As per IRISL's director, Iran needs to purchase or build 40
vessels by 2009. Over the next two decades, Iran would also need 500 new ships, including 120
oil tankers, 40 liquefied natural gas (LNG) carriers and over 300 commercial vessels. In 2009, in
a move aimed at further enhancing Iran's shipbuilding industry, President Mahmoud
Ahmadinejad said he will ban the purchase of foreign ships by Iranian organizations. Moreover,
various kinds of industrial lubricants have been produced by Pars Oil Company as well as
Behran Oil and, at present, about 70% of the lubricant needed by the fleet is supplied
domestically.
In October 2006, a new company has been established in the southern port city of Bandar Abbas
to repair various types of ocean liners. According to ISNA, the Bandar Abbas Pars Ship
Repairing Company has been formed jointly by IRISL and ISOICO. The plant has the capacity
to carry out maintenance works on large vessels with 500,000-ton capacity.4
In addition, profitability of the company has been on the rise despite elimination of state
subsidies as a result of adopting a cost management, planned maintenance strategy, so that, the
company’s net loss which amounted to $15 million in 1999 has been turned around to more than
$150 million profits during the 2003-2004 fiscal year. According to the article 44(C) of the
Iranian Constitution, IRISL is ready for privatization.
Shahid Rajaei Port has hiked 10 spots in world ports rankings thanks to careful planning and
efficient services rendered by the port, Director General of Hormuzgan's Ports and Shipping
Organization Ali Akbar Safaei said on Sunday.
"This spring, 608,371 twenty-foot equivalent units (TEU) container ships unloaded at Shahid
Rajaei Port, which marks a 31 percent increase compared to the corresponding figure of 2009-
2010. Given the comprehensive plans which have been made at this port, we hope that this
increasing trend continues and by the year's end the record high figure of 2.8 million TEU
container ships will be accomplished," he added, Mehr News Agency reported.
The twenty-foot equivalent unit or TEU is an inexact unit of cargo capacity often used to
describe the capacity of container ships and container terminals. It is based on the volume of a
20-foot long intermodal container, a standard-sized metal box which can be easily transferred
between different modes of transportation, such as ships, trains and trucks.
Safaei recalled that the level of unloading at the port during spring was over 17 million tons,
which marks a 17 percent rise compared to the previous year. "In the same time span, some
4.980 million tons of non-oil products were exported via the port, which marks a growth of 98
percent. In the corresponding period of 2009-2010 the figure stood at 2.509 million tons.
Moreover, in the same period imports of non-oil products via the port reached 4.511 million tons.
It should also be recalled that in the same duration transit of non-oil products via the port
increased by 74 percent and hit 494,911 tons," he noted.
5
Safei said during the first quarter of 2010-2011, around 950,122 tons of cargo was transshipped
via Shahid Rajaei Port, marking a 46 percent increase compared to the corresponding period of
2009-2010. "In the period between March 21-June 21, some 6.183 million tons of oil products
were unloaded and loaded at this port, which shows a 12 percent reduction compared to the
corresponding period of the last year. Transit of oil products in the same time span stood at
58,492 tons, which reveals no changed compared to the respective period of 2009-2010,"
1.3.c Present Status of the Industry
The Ports and shipping organization is a government agency under the authority of the Ministry
of Roads and Transportation, with responsibility for supervising maritime trade and the operation
of commercial ports and shipping in Iranian waters.
Marine transport is greatly dependent on auxiliary capacities and facilities including ports, roads,
railroad and so on. Therefore, the port and shipping organization of Iran agreed to award
management contracts for operations of container terminals in Bandar Khorramshahr and Bandar
Imam Khomeini to a subsidiary of IRISL (IRISL Port) in 2004. In addition, according to an
agreement with the Islamic Republic of Iran Railways, a joint company was established to
launch an express container line from southern Iranian ports to major destinations inside the
country, as well as to CIS countries. These measures were in line with the long-term policy of
the government to develop the transit sector and activate North-South Transit Corridor. All port
terminals are currently run by private companies.
1.3.d Future of the Industry
6
The facts and figures for this spring suggest that some 1.069 million tons of oil products were
imported via the port, which hints at a two percent decrease compared to the spring of last year.
Meanwhile, a port and shipping official said on Sunday Shahid Rajaei Port is the best choice for
rendering port-related services in the Persian Gulf. Over half a century has elapsed since this port
started its activities and today we are witness to its growth and development in various sectors
and the impact of this important port on gross national product (GNP) as the hub of economic
activities of the country. Shahid Rajaei Port should become the hub of port and shipping services
in the Persian Gulf while today we observe that ports such as Jebbel Ali are basic ports in the
Persian Gulf region. Shahid Rajaei Port is on the verge of becoming a third generation port of the
world. Third generation ports are ports in which the issue of commercial activities is at stake in
addition to unloading and loading cargo and producing goods, the port accounts for over 90
percent of unloading and loading of container vessels in the country.
To expedite the port development to become a third generation port, the issues of logistics,
commercial services and rendering services at suitable prices.

CHAPTER 2: PROFILE OF THE ORZANIZATION
2.1 Origin of the Organization
Adibi – Hearis counsolers for the first time, moved many goods in Iran, considered the Shahid
Rajaie port, which is, in the complete design of Iran’s commercial ports. Administrative
operations of the Shahid Rajaie port were started as part of main and basic developmental
programs in 1975. The port started its activities again after revolution in 1981 and developed its
operations in the imposed war. The Shahid Rajaie port played an important role to supply Iran's
needs in the imposed war. The first terminal of the port was exploited and loading / evacuation
operations started in 1984.
The port construction was completed and a container terminal was made which is equipped to a
computer system in 1985. Buildings, storages, spaces and other terminals were constructed to
develop activities in 1986. The first related affairs to a whole development program of the port
were started in 2001. It causes to increase port spaces and goods displacement capacity from 1.5
million TEU to 6 million TEU. First phase of the port spaces development was started in 2004.
The first part of the container terminal was started in 2005 too.
With a view to description of port climatic condition, the statistic of year 43 of Bandar Abbas
erology station is utilized. Supplementary data related to climatic region is indicated in table 2-
1.In the main, the lack of glacial days and few rainfall are climatic basic specification of this
region. The average of water surface temperature in Persian gulf have oscillated in different
periods between 20 oC(Esfand/ February) and 32 oC (Mordad/ August) and the annual average
water surface temperature is measured within 27 oC. The saltiness of surface waters in close of
Persian Gulf inlet was almost 6/36 gram in liter and the maximum of saltiness in southern coasts
is within 41 gram in liter. The done studies regarding the erosion of steel candles in Persian gulf
(United Arab Emirates and Kuwait) is shown that moderately, erosion rate in flood division is
8
14/0 millimeter annually and therefore, the mean of erosion in other division can be equivalent
with 7/0 millimeter in the year.
Shahid Rajaee Port complex situate in Hormozgan State in 23 kilometer of west of Bandar
Abbas. This port situate in 560 geographical longitude and 4' eastern and 270 geographical latitude
and 7' northern in north of Qeshm Island and Hormoz neck. Port complex has about 25 square
kilometers area that from this extent 5/7 square kilometers is patronage land for development
plans and use of private sector.
Shahid Rajaei port allocate maximum of depletion operation share/ goods loading to self in
Islamic Republic Iran. First port terminal has opened and depletion operation and loading to
acceptable extent has started since (August 1984), this port has played an important role and
growing in country ports system especially in relation to containerize operation.
Containerize terminal of Shahid Rajaei port as biggest and more advanced country containerize
9
terminal with operations range of 2/1 million TEU in 2005 is port heart. Besides of containerize
operations, acceptable dimension of replacement operation of social goods (especially steel
products), dry material (Cereal and hematite), liquid material (Inedible oils) and petroleum
products fulfill in this port. In addition, port has limited activities in depletion base/ automotive
loading.
In recent years, ports and shipping organization for submit of future raising demand, has invested
about 600 American million dollars for expansion of Shahid Rajaei port which this capital will
be spent for build of a new and big containerize terminal (start date of phase 1 schedule in end of
year 2006). Development of big post - edge lands, build of new gates for port that it is a creation
of railway maneuver enclosure etc.
Shahid Rajaei Port complex situate in Hormozgan State in 23 kilometer of Bandar Abbas west.
Geographical condition of this area in 560 geographical longitude and 4' eastern and 270
geographical latitude and 7' northern has situated in north of Qeshm Island and Hormoz neck.
The space of this area is 25 square kilometer that further 5/7 square kilometer can add to that.
The enclosure of Shahid Rajaei port finites to anhydride arid lands and Keshar Mountains from
north and on all sides’ finites to channels which directed the floods of this desert. Having the
singular geographical condition, access to international open waters via Persian Gulf, connection
to road and rail international net, approaching to Kish open area, Qeshm and Persian Gulf area
ports, and use of installation and modern equipments, Shahid Rajaei port complex is converted to
strategic and singular place. In connection to sea condition, this port is in safeguard of Qeshm
Island and immune of long waves of Oman Sea and Persian Gulf.
Port situation
The Shahid Rajaie port was announced as a special economical region in 2/28/1997. Free regions
of Iran were made according to the note No.19 of the first program of development (1989-1993).
Some regions are announced as special economical regions based on the note No.25 of the
second program of development (1994-1999). Main purpose of special economical regions
10
creation is economical development promotion of the region by investor companies for
unemployment reduction and technology transfer.
Regulations of special economical regions

about employment of foreign citizens
Retail sales It is permitted for Iranian and foreign citizens
Visa regulation for foreign citizens According to Iran's regulations
Furthermore, according to consultants, storekeeping tariff of the free region is different to the
port official tariff which is announced by the shipping and ports organization (refers to chapter
5). Storekeeping tariff (obsolete goods) of special economical regions is less than the port
common tariff and tariff discount is given after 45 days. All goods which have a lading to
destination of the free region or special commercial regions, are enjoyed this prerogative.
This law is approved in order to store governmental goods in the port cheaply. Due to budget
policies of government, some governmental companies import necessary goods wholesale. These
companies store goods in the port because of lack of storekeeping facilities. Thus, a cheap
storekeeping tariff is approved for ports which are protected by the special economical region.
According to consultant’s observations, the obsolete goods law affects the port situation a lot and
led to highest pause time of goods (especially containers) in the port. It causes to decreases the
port capacity too. Actually the port is got a big storage instead of a goods passage. Development
projects of the port and the especial economical region should be considered. On the other hand,
positive effects of special regulations on industries development and commercial activities have
not been seen yet.
Powers of the shipping and ports organization are limit in this regard because tariffs of special
economical and free regions are approved by super council. Anyway, the port's director general
is responsible of the especial commercial region.

2.2 Growth and Development of the Organization
In past years, Shahid Rajaei port has witnessed continual growth in volume of displaced good. In
this relation, traffic of ships and traffic of truck and trains increase between port and inside of
country considerably. To Predict that this process will continue at a later.

2.4 Present status and Future of the Organization
Because the Shahid Rajaie port is near free water, it accesses to other parts of the world by
shipping ways of the Hormoz strait. To develop commercial and economical among Iran and
other countries, some sea transportation paths should be created from the Shahid Rajaie port to
south banks of Persian Gulf, African and Asia east countries. Now, the Shahid Rajaie port relates
to 80 international ports by sea. This port is done most commercial activities and goods transit to
Middle East countries. Some sea paths are:
Form Bandar Abbas to Sharjah (inner relations in Persian Gulf), From Bandar Abbas to Dubai
(relation with Europe, Asia and Amercia), from Bandar Abbas to Masghat , from Bandar Abbas
to Karachi and from Bandar Abbas to other ports of Iran. Figure 2-6 shows the port location
among other international ports.
The Shahid Rajaie port is connected to the network of Iran paths by some main paths. The most
important path which is ended to the port is the 1330 kilometer long path form Bandar Abbas-
Sirjan- Tehran. It is the shortest path from Bandar Abbas to Tehran. Distance of the Shahid
Rajaie port to Bandar Abbias is 23 kilometers. This path is situated between Bandar Abbas to
17
Bandar Length. It was changed to a 4 ways highway last year. The accessibility path is the most
important way in Bandar Abbas which is extended from east to west. Table 2-6 shows location
of the Shahid Rajaie port among the Iran's highway network and the Asia highway system.
The Shahid Rajaie port is connected to the overall railway network by the 630 kilometer long
railway of Bafgh- Tehran. The railway is increased transportation and social- economical
activities. Most transportation of commercial buildings of the region is done by this rail network.
Table 2-7 shows location of the Shahid Rajaie port in the overall railway network. Among four
regions which are controlled by the protection building of environment, protected regions of
HARA, HARA TIAB and MINAB are the nearest places to the port. The HARA region is
considered as a protected region according to quadruple classification of the environment. This
region is put in the international sea list of Anzali conventions and Bio- Safari resources. There
is a high sensitivity about this region so all affairs should be done carefully in the port.
Accessible channel and also the extent of port basins and status of break waterها declares
suitable for port. For the new containerize terminal of Shahid Rajaei port, the model ship will
have length 400m. Therefore, you need to know for certain that the port condition among canals
and circuit basins dimensions and also the instruction level of ship leaders will be made possible
to accepting the ships with this extent. The problem have important completely, is the depth of
all inlet head and port enclosures. You need to know for certain that the depths are adequate for
all of predicted float.
