According to Aghaei, the INTER SYDNEY vessel is the second container ship to enter the port of Chabahar after the creation of a direct maritime line between the Iranian and Indian ports.

"The Islamic Republic of Iran Shipping Lines has arranged for the ship to sail once every two weeks to the port of Chabahar. Thus, direct export, import and transit of goods from the port of Chabahar have been made possible," he said.
