Iran and Oman plan shipping line
Muscat: Iran and Oman are planning to establish a shipping line to facilitate maritime trade between the two countries, said Ali Akbar Sibeveih, Iranian ambassador to the Sultanate.
An agreement is expected to be signed in three months, Sibeveih told Times of Oman.
The shipping line will operate between four Omani ports — Sohar, Sultan Qaboos, Musandam, and Shinas — and the Iranian ports of Chabahar, Bandar Abbas, Bandar Imam Khomeini, and one other port. [29/09/14]
