Iran has become self-sufficient in building oil and gas platforms and no longer relies on foreign countries, said technical director of Iran Shipbuilding and Offshore Industries Complex (ISOICO).

"Operating these projects in the country helps create jobs, save foreign currency resources," said Hossein Dehghan, Trend reports via IRNA.

He said at the moment building each oil and gas platform in ISOICO could create more than 500 direct and indirect jobs.

"Major part of equipment installed at oil and gas platforms are produced domestically and many domestic companies are participating in shipbuilding industries," he said.

"By continuing to build oil and gas platform projects, more jobs could be created in this big marine industry and we have hired a special workforce in this field," he said.

"ISOICO is capable of building oil platforms using latest technology and so far it has built 13 oil platform base, 12 jackets, 10 oil platforms," he said.
