Iran-Made Catamarans to Operate on Khorramshahr-Basra Route

Two Iranian-made catamarans are set to operate between Iran’s Khorramshahr and Iraq’s Basra ports, in a bid to attract more tourists to Arvand Free Trade Zone. 
Both catamarans have been ordered from Arvandan Shipbuilding Company. 
“The first one is set to be launched in two months and the second one will be delivered next year,” Jaber Nahieh, the investor of the project, told Mana News Agency. 
He added that Ports and Maritime Organization of Iran has financed 80% of the $12-million order.
