Turning to the 59-percent share of the port in sea trade at the Caspian Sea, Mousapour said import of goods at this port has witnessed considerable growth with the investment made by the private sector in the field of constructing silos and covered storage and also the situation of Amirabad Port in the International North-South Transport Corridor (INSTC).
It is expected that the export of products from this port will grow following the creation of a green customs line between Amirabad and Makhachkala Port, he went on to say.
