Our Sea Freight Services in Iran
SASCO offers flexible sea freight solutions for different cargo profiles and shipment volumes.
FCL Shipping in Iran
Our FCL shipping services support standard 20ft and 40ft containers for shippers that need dedicated capacity and more direct cargo control. FCL is often the preferred option for higher volumes, better cargo separation, and more predictable handling.
LCL Shipping in Iran
For smaller commercial shipments, our LCL shipping services help reduce cost through cargo consolidation while maintaining structured handling and shipment visibility. This is a practical option for cargo that does not require a full container.
For more information about these freight services, see our guide to FCL and LCL.
Breakbulk and Bulk Shipping
Some cargo cannot move efficiently in standard containers. SASCO supports project cargo and breakbulk shipping in Iran for industrial materials, oversized cargo, non-containerized goods, and selected bulk movements requiring vessel coordination and controlled loading arrangements.
Reefer and Special Equipment
For temperature-sensitive cargo, we coordinate reefer container solutions as part of our sea freight operations. We also support flat rack, open top, and other special equipment where cargo dimensions or handling requirements exceed standard container limits.
Port Coverage in Iran
Port selection is a key part of planning sea freight services in Iran. The right port depends on cargo type, shipping line availability, inland access, and delivery priorities.
Southern Ports
In the south, SASCO supports shipping via Bandar Abbas and other major northern and southern ports in Iran used for containerized, general, and project cargo. For clients evaluating shipping via Chabahar, we provide route-based planning according to cargo type, destination, and inland coordination needs.
Caspian Ports
Our Caspian sea freight services support cargo linked to Russia, the CIS region, and other Caspian-facing trade lanes, enabling seamless multimodal transport by connecting sea freight with inland road and rail networks.These solutions are useful for companies combining sea freight with inland road, rail, or warehouse distribution.
Port Logistics, Documentation, and Coordination
Ocean freight requires more than vessel space. Delays often happen when planning, paperwork, handling, and inland transport are managed separately.
SASCO supports the operational stages that directly affect shipment flow, timing, and reliability. Our services are integrated with freight forwarding solutions, import & export consulting, and cargo insurance services to manage documentation, handling, risk reduction, and inland coordination.Depending on the shipment, we may provide carrier booking, container planning, loading support, port documentation follow-up, cargo supervision, and handover between sea freight and inland delivery.
This makes our port logistics support in Iran useful for companies that need one coordinated service flow instead of fragmented communication across multiple providers.
Cargo Types We Handle by Sea
Our sea freight services in Iran support a wide range of cargo categories, including:
- standard containerized cargo
- commercial import and export shipments
- industrial goods and machinery
- raw materials and selected bulk commodities
- project cargo requiring special equipment
