“Providing electronic services to people, customers, and business owners, as well as ensuring the continuation of port and maritime businesses using the capabilities of the country’s expert workforce, is considered one of the priorities of the Ports and Maritime Organization in the field of information and communication technology,” Safaei said.

On January 10, the official said that projects worth 1.5 quadrillion rials (about $3.0 billion) are underway to develop the country’s maritime transportation.

Speaking at a maritime conference in the northern city of Noshahr, Safaei said: “The completion of these projects will create very good employment in the country and will cause economic prosperity.”

Mentioning the country’s maritime-oriented development roadmap suggested by the Leader of the Islamic Revolution, he said the government will make every effort to realize the comprehensive roadmap of maritime-oriented development as a turning point in the country’s history.
