Sixteen experts from the European Union will take part in the event, an official with the Ports and Maritime Organization said.

“At present, the concepts of logistics, inter-modal transportation and value-added services in the field are defined and interpreted in various ways by PMO and by each of the Iranian ports.

We are seeking the assistance of Europeans in this regard,” Mohammad Ali Asl-Saeedipour was also quoted as saying by the news portal of the Ministry of Roads and Urban Development.

"We want to see what the full potential of our ports are and how European experts can help us make better use of our logistics and multi-modal transportation capacities."
