The Islamic Republic of Iran Shipping Line Group has set a record in shipment of goods along the International North-South Transportation Corridor.
IRISL moved 27,500 TEUs weighing 337,000 tons along the corridor in the first four months of the current Iranian year (started March 21), IRNA reported.
The report noted that initially only two transit routes were defined among the ports of India, the UAE and Russia at the outset of the INSTC project, but the number of routes has increased to 14 spanning across different ports of the world over the last two months.
According to IRISL, countries of the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) and Russia are the main transit destinations from the shipping points; the goods will be delivered to the owners door-to-door, using the group’s facilities.
