About Iran Ports and Congestion
Ports across Iran, including major terminals in Bandar Abbas and Rajaei, face frequent congestion challenges tied to high transshipment volumes and sanctions-related disruptions. Inland customs clearance delays often result in yard overflow, while limited berth allocations during peak shipping waves lead to vessel bunching offshore. Larger carriers offloading containers for onward rail transit experience delays due to slow intermodal synchronization. Some relief has come from extended gate hours and better coordination between shipping agents and customs officials. However, security protocols and complex paperwork continue to add layers of delay. Seasonal agricultural exports also intensify outbound congestion during harvest periods. Infrastructure upgrades remain uneven, with investment concentrated at select hubs.
