GEOGRAPHY/MAIN FEATURES:
Bandar Imam Khomeini is situated in the north-western coast of the Persian Gulf, 100 kilometers east of Abadan and Khorramshahr and 175 kms Southeast of Ahwaz.Because of its characteristic position and possession of a natural channel "The Khor Musa" with a length of about 78 km, it is considered one of the most important ports of the country.
The Khor Musa is one of the most important natural channels which does not need dredging.
The water depth in this channel differs between 30 to 42 feet during high and low tides. Ships with capacity of 100,000 tons can easily pass this channel and dock at the various jetties there. This port is the first in the country which in addition to paved roads and air links, is also connected to various points of the country through railway system.
Same as other ports in Iran, pilotage is compulsory at this port. Vessels should anchor at the outer buoy latitude 29 degree 59 seconds North, longitude 49 degrees 04 seconds East or, when weather is clear, proceed towards fairway buoy and await a pilot.
A massage addressed to agents through B.I.K. radio should be sent 12 hours prior to arrival at outer buoy.
