Financial Tribune - A reefer ship to carry perishable commodities such as fruits will be launched between Iran’s Jask Port in Hormozgan Province and Omani ports for the first time in the near future, Iran’s commercial attaché in Oman said.

Noting that the new transportation route has been created by Iranian private-run companies, Abbas Abdolkhani added that earlier, Iranian fruits were exported to Oman via Sharjah in the UAE, but the opening of a direct transport route to Oman will help increase Iran’s exports to the neighboring country, ILNA reported.

There are currently four shipping routes between Iran and Oman, namely Jask-Suwaiq, Bandar Abbas-Sohar, Khorramshahr-Sohar and Bandar Abbas-Suwaiq.
