Financial Tribune - A reefer ship to carry perishable commodities such as fruits will be launched between Iran�s Jask Port in Hormozgan Province and Omani ports for the first time in the near future, Iran�s commercial attach� in Oman said.

Noting that the new transportation route has been created by Iranian private-run companies, Abbas Abdolkhani added that earlier, Iranian fruits were exported to Oman via Sharjah in the UAE, but the opening of a direct transport route to Oman will help increase Iran�s exports to the neighboring country, ILNA reported.

There are currently four shipping routes between Iran and Oman, namely Jask-Suwaiq, Bandar Abbas-Sohar, Khorramshahr-Sohar and Bandar Abbas-Suwaiq.
