Iran is connected to the Caspian Sea in the north, from which through the 3 main ports connects the country to Russia on the north, the Republic of Azerbaijan to the west, and Turkmenistan to the east. The majority of Iranian imports and exports are handling through eight important ports on the south that connects Iran to open oceans. The Port of Shahid Rajaie in Bandar Abbas City is the most important port but there is no direct international shipping lines due to international sanctions.
