TEHRAN -- Iran’s Ministry of Petroleum on Sunday brought online a major port on the Persian Gulf coast to expedite exports of petroleum products from the giant energy hub of South Pars.
The Siraf Exports and Service Port was inaugurated upon an order by President Hassan Rouhani. The port, located in the southwestern province of Bushehr, has two wharfs which will be dedicated to exports of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) and sulfur. The products will be directly supplied from nearby refineries that run on natural gas pumped from the South Pars.
