Tehran to Host Maritime Confab

The 25th Conference of Iran’s Maritime Organizations has been rescheduled and will be held at Tehran’s Eram Grand Hotel on Feb. 13, the head of Maritime Organizations’ Coordination Secretariat said.

Ali Akbar Marzban added that the event was initially scheduled for Jan. 30-31 in the port city of Chabahar, but due to heavy snow at the time, flights to that destination were canceled and so was the conference, the news portal of the Ministry of Roads and Urban Development reported. 

Marzban noted that during the one-day conference, a wide range of topics, including marine transport, port logistics, the role of the private sector in expanding maritime activity and marine environment, will be discussed.
