Sea transport

Homay Boland Aseman Company is capable of providing direct sea freight services from most ports around the world to ports in Iran. In direct shipping, the cargo is transported to the destination port without changing the vessel or container. This method reduces transportation costs, is more economical, and shortens delivery time.

With extensive experience in maritime transport, the company offers specialized services from all major Asian ports (such as China, Taiwan, etc.) and European ports at competitive rates.
