The Islamic Republic of Iran Shipping Lines (IRISL) will this week start a weekly service connecting the Middle East country with ports in Europe, Venezuela and Cuba, reports Iran's Mehr News.
Saeed Meghdadi, IRISL's Europe line department manager, was quoted as saying the service will start from Bandar Abbas on May 16 before calling Malta, Barcelona, Havana and Puerto Cabello.
“This line was initiated in accordance to the general policies of the Islamic Republic of Iran for supporting and expanding non-oil exports and in response to the numerous requests made by merchants,” Meghdadi said.
