The first India-Iran-Afghanistan intermodal transport, using Transports Internationaux Routiers (TIR – International Road Transports) has been completed, according to the Iranian Chamber of Commerce, Industries, Mines and Agriculture (ICCIMA).
The so called Chabahar corridor is using Chabahar port on the Arabian Sea and will link Iran with Central Asia, Russia and eventually Europe.
This first TIR transport operation is based on the Chabahar transit agreement signed between India and Iran, and represents the initial step towards the full activation of the India-Iran-Afghanistan route.
In addition to linking Iran to Afghanistan, Central Asia, Russia and eventually Europe, Chabahar also is the only Iranian port with direct access to the Indian Ocean.
