Shipping from Iran to Malaysia via Mersin: Real Transit Times 2026

Iran’s traditional ports currently face an unstable situation. Because of this, HAPCO now ships via alternative routes — Mersin, Turkey and Poti, Georgia — instead of Bandar Abbas. Here is the real picture for Malaysia-bound cargo.

Shipping Time from Iran to Malaysia: The Real Breakdown

Two routes are available, and they perform quite differently. Via Mersin, cargo takes 35-45 days total, door-to-door — currently our fastest Southeast Asian route. Via Poti, the same journey takes 50-60 days.

As a result, Mersin is the clear choice for Malaysia-bound cargo right now. In fact, it ranks among the faster options across our entire Asia network.

The Route: Iran to Malaysia via Mersin

First, we truck cargo from Iran to Mersin, Turkey. Then, we load it by sea toward Port Klang or Tanjung Pelepas, Malaysia’s major container gateways. Along the way, shipments often route through Singapore or other regional transshipment hubs, since this keeps schedules flexible and reliable.

What’s Commonly Shipped from Iran to Malaysia

Trade between Iran and Malaysia covers several categories. Petrochemical products move steadily in both directions, alongside minerals and industrial raw materials. Meanwhile, Malaysia’s own manufacturing and electronics sectors export goods back toward Iran, creating a genuine two-way trade relationship rather than a one-sided route.

FCL Focus

Like our other routes, we focus on FCL shipping — specifically 20ft and 40ft HQ containers. This approach suits most shipment types well, and it avoids the added complexity that LCL consolidation often brings.
