Tehran, Iran, October 19
By Mehdi Sepahvand -- Trend:
In the first six months of the current Iranian-calendar year (which started March 21), 9.3 million people traveled by sea starting or ending in ports in northern or southern Iran.
This number shows an increase of 7 percent compared to the same period last year, the Transport and Urban Development Ministry's official website reported Oct. 19.
In 2014, in the time span between March 21 and September 22, Iranian ports had accommodated 8.7 million passengers.
Also, over 65 million metric tons of goods, oil and non-oil, were loaded or unloaded at Iran's ports in the meantime, 12 percent lower than the amount registered for the preceding year's same period.
The number had been 74 million tons for 2014 in the time span between March 21 and Sept. 22.
Also, the amount of transit goods loaded or unloaded by the way of sea in the first half of the current Iranian year hit 5.3 million metric tons, which shows a 12 percent decline compared to the 6 million ton registered for the same period the preceding year.
The indexes of Iranian ports on transportation of bulk and dry cargo, containers and passengers, as well as on the number of handled vessels (a year in Iran begins on March 20) are as follows:
