As reported by Farina ؛ Esmail Zamani, last year, it was decided, after 5 years of effort, to compete in Arvand Free Zone with the free zones of the world and to evaluate our strengths and weaknesses.

Zamani stated: this was a reason to expose ourselves to the evaluation of the fDi magazine, a specialized section of the Financial Times, which evaluates and rates the free zones of the world every year. After announcing the results of the evaluation, Arvand Free Zone won the Specialized Steel Industry Award and the Premium Region Award for Infrastructure Development among the world’s free zones in the year 2019.

He emphasized: since 2013, the Board of Directors of the Organization has been focusing on increasing production and export, tourism industry development and infrastructure development by attracting maximum investment for the general welfare of Abadan, Khorramshahr, and Minooshr in the last four years. Also, the company has invested 5000 billion tomans in domestic investment and 500000 million dollars in foreign investment, including Kaveh Arvand Steel Plant, Jahan Ara Steel Plant and Phase 2 Development of Abadan Refinery.

“The creation of the necessary infrastructure has increased the capacity for Iran’s non-oil exports from the Arvand Free Zone,” he added.

He said that tourists can visit Arvand Free Zone and Abadan and Khorramshahr cities without visa.

Arvand Rud dredging can provide a suitable platform for commercial vessels and boost maritime tourism industry in the region.

The Arvand Free Zone with an area of 37,400 hectares is at the confluence of the Karun and Arvand rivers. The Zone is located at a height of three meters above sea level and in proximity to Iraq and in the northwest of Persian Gulf.
