More than 3.37 million tons of non-oil goods crossed the country’s borders in the first quarter of the current Iranian year (started March 21), said the director general of Transit and Border Terminals Bureau. “With about 916,000 tons of goods transit accounting for 27% of total non-oil transit in the three-month period Parviz Khan border terminal in Kermanshah Province was the most active terminal in terms of incoming transit. Furthermore, Imam Khomeini Port with 1.37 million tons of transit accounting for 41% of total non-oil transit in the same period, ranked first among terminals in outgoing transit,” Mehr News Agency quoted Mohammad Javad Atrchian as saying. He added that Iran is capable of further increasing its transit rate due to its strategic and geopolitical position as the transit crossroads of Asia and Europe.
