Port Of Bandar Abbas: Images, code, shipping data and lines list

The Port of Bandar Abbas is connected to Tehran and the rest of Iran by road, rail, and air. The port's most important imports are manufactured goods, and its exports include agricultural produce, petroleum products, and Kerman rugs. From the late 18th Century until 1868, Iran leased the Port of Bandar Abbas to Oman. As late as the 1950s, the Port of Bandar Abbas was still a fishing town with a population of less than twenty thousand. Despite its relatively poor port facilities, the Port of Bandar Abbas prospered during the 1980s Iran-Iraq War when the country's western ports were vulnerable. The Port of Bandar Abbas is home to an oil refinery, a fish cannery, and a cotton mill. In the late 20th Century, a new harbor, shipbuilding yard, and a major rail link were added.
