“Chabahar has the best position in the region to link the regional countries and can lead to prosperity of the Islamic Republic of Iran,” Aqaee said.

'Chabahar, due to its strategic position, can have a main role to reducing the cost of fueling the ships,' said Aqaee while pointing to Chabahar's priority in bunkering ships.

“The Panamax ocean liners can berth at Chabahar Port and also transport various products, including steel, petrochemical, and mineral products,' IRNA quoted him as saying.
