This very large complex is situated on the foot of Kashar and Gachin mountains.

30 kms west of city of Bandar Abbas, that’s about 56º04 ' E and 27º 07' N. The construction plan of the port comprised a maneuvering main basin and three subsidiary basins having berths, warehouses, wharfs and buildings with related facilities. There are projects approved for developing of this complex, the most important ones, a silo for grain storage, a fishing & coastal traffic harbour, expansion of cargo and container storage areas and many others.

All seamen may use the recreational facilities of the Seamen’s Club. It is built to Iranian traditional architecture, offers a very pleasant atmosphere. Seamen may also do shopping at the stores in this place and buy Iranian handicrafts.

This is a rather interesting method of unloading a skip in a less then safe manner at Bandar-e-Abbas port!
