Background information on Iran
Trade relations between Russia and Iran started quite a long time ago. During this time, a lot of options for organizing logistics by different means of transport have emerged.
Iranian highways connect almost all cities of the country, and there is also a railroad connection with such countries as Pakistan, Turkey, Turkmenistan and Azerbaijan.
Iran mainly exports oil, metal ores, fruits and vegetables, petrochemical products, natural stone, tiles, tableware, auto parts, household chemicals, etc. As for imports, the country buys consumer goods, copper, steel, textiles, various equipment, agricultural products, etc – the list is too long to include it all.
The country has access to two seas: the Arabian Sea and the Caspian Sea, where there are major ports of Bandar Abbas with access to the Persian Gulf and Enzeli, Khorremshehr, Amirabad on the Caspian Sea.
The most popular routes from Russia to Iran are Astara, Bandar Abbas, Tehran, Mashhad, Tabriz, Shiraz, Isfahan and Bushehr.
What are the benefits of working with GTL?
You can entrust our specialists with any task related to transportation – all that’s left for you is to monitor the cargo’s location and make sure that transportation is carried out strictly according to the schedule.
The port of Mumbai is located in the west of the country and Chennai is in the east. Therefore, we determine the port based on the final destination of your cargo.
As for cargo delivery to the port of Bandar Abbas, there are several different options. However, in most cases we ship from Astrakhan or Makhachkala via the Caspian Sea to the Iranian ports of Amirabad and Anzali. And from there the cargoes are transported by trucks or rail to the port of Bandar Abbas in Iran.
Our company has its own representative in the port of Bandar Abbas, which helps avoid any delays – that is why we say that we deliver much faster.
As a rule, delivery of cargoes from Russia to India by transit through Iran takes 30-40 days, as opposed to 2 months through the Suez Canal.
Forwarding to Iran
Afghanistan is located in Central Asia, has a mountainous landscape, and is landlocked. It borders six countries, making it a major transportation hub – however, there are some problems regarding railroad networks. All countries (Iran, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, Pakistan, India) neighboring Afghanistan have railroad gauges of different widths, which makes it an economic problem for Afghanistan to use bogies for all three systems. The main road of the country is highway S connecting all major cities of Kandahar, Herat, Kabul, Ghazni and further going to Pakistan.
The country exports precious stones, wool, fruits, accepts oil and oil products, textiles, and industrial products.
The most popular routes of cargo transportation from Russia to Afghanistan are Kabul, Mazar-i-Sharif, Kandahar, Ghazni, Hairatan.
