Speaking to NIPNA, Managing Director of Mahshahr
Petrochemical Special Economic Zone (PETZONE) Omid Shahidinia said talks have
been held with Iran's Customs Administration as well as the Ports &
Maritime Organization for establishing the corridor which will take a few
months before it is operational.
He added: "The main advantage of this export
corridor is reducing export bureaucracy and hence minimizing the time waster at
export terminal by shipments."
The official said the corridor was not expected
to enhance the volume of exported items but would serve as an infrastructure for
future projects.
He further said that the rail network would also
be used for exporting petrochemicals to such countries as Turkey and Iraq as
well as CIS countries.
