IRISL Readies for Europe

January 5, 2016

 The Islamic Republic of Iran Shipping Lines (IRISL) is seeking to open bureaus across Europe, says its Managing-Director Dr. Mohammad Saeidi.

 
IRNA reports Saeidi as saying that once the arbitrary sanctions on Iran are lifted, Iranian-flagged ships can travel between Iranian and European ports.
 
He said that imposition of anti-Iran sanctions banned Iranian ships from travelling to Europe and vessels owned by international companies from travelling to Iran as well. 
 
Launching shipping bureaus across Europe is aimed at facilitating exports of Iranian oil and non-oil products to European ports, the official said. 
 
He also said that after the lifting of sanctions the Iranian ships can receive insurance services from European insurers. 
 
Sanctions removals will result in IRISL to change into one of the most important players in shipping companies in international scene, said  Saeidi.
 
Furthermore, he stated that sanctions removals will let us commence with international shipping companies and pave the way for our ships to operate easily in different parts of the world.
 
He continued that the approach demands fleet expansion accordingly and added that: the plan which is composed according to the supply and demand in the market, includes chartering vessels as well as purchasing new ships.
