Shahid Bahonar Port (the Old Port)
Shahid Bahonar Port is one of the oldest multipurpose ports in the province and is considered one of Iran’s active ports. It is the country’s third export port, with a special status in non-oil commodity exports, as well as domestic and international cargo and passenger transportation (mostly to Dubai and Qeshm island). Its excellent geographical location provides access to global waters via the Persian Gulf, connects to international routes, and its proximity to the free zones of Qeshm and recreational islands and commercial ports of the Persian Gulf make it a strategic and unique base after the Shahid Rajaee Port Complex.
Shahid Bahonar has 12 berths and its notable feature is a draft of 10.2 meters at low tide, making it one of the deepest ports in the country after Imam Khomeini and Shahid Rajaee ports. In the past, it was the main port of Bandar Abbas and, being located within the city, attracts a large number of tourists and passengers daily, playing a significant role in the economic prosperity of the region.

Port Security
The current security and safety arrangements at Shahid Rajaee Port are robust and multifaceted, encompassing physical measures, surveillance systems, personnel identification protocols, and emergency response plans. Restricted access points, perimeter security, and regular patrols contribute to a secure environment. The use of advanced technologies, such as CCTV systems and scanning devices, enhances cargo and vessel screening.
Port State Control is considered one of the most effective methods for ensuring vessel safety, identifying non-compliant vessels, and preventing their movement. It involves the enforcement of international conventions, rules, regulations, and instructions pertaining to maritime safety and the protection of the marine environment on vessels flying foreign flags. The Iran Ports and Maritime Organization oversees both Port State Control and Flag State Control. Additionally, this organization has the responsibility of monitoring non-convention vessels (GT<500)
