Why Iran Is the Perfect Logistics Hub for Global Shipping

Strategic Location at the Crossroads of Global Shipping Trade

Iran is uniquely positioned between Europe, Asia, and the Middle East, and therefore it stands as one of the most attractive logistics gateways for international trade. Moreover, with access to major corridors like the International North-South Transport Corridor (INSTC) and, in addition, with its proximity to the Persian Gulf, Iran can connect key markets quickly and efficiently. Consequently, the country plays a pivotal role in facilitating global commerce

Cost-Effective and Multimodal Transportation

Iran offers one of the most cost-effective shipping routes in the region. Thanks to its growing infrastructure, companies can benefit from sea, road, rail, and air freight options at significantly lower costs than alternative hubs like the UAE or Turkey.

Key Advantages:

  • Access to over 15 neighboring countries
  • Competitive freight and warehousing rates
  • Modernized customs clearance procedures
  • Multiple free trade zones (FTZs)
