THE Geneva-based Mediterranean Shipping Company (MSC), world's second biggest shipping line,
has returned to Iran more than six years away, reports Tehran's unofficial Tasnim News
Agency.
A
few weeks before the implementation of a recent nuclear deal between Tehran and
world powers, which will end anti-Iranian sanctions, the Italian-Swiss company's
ship MSC Domitille arrived at the second terminal of largest Iranian port Shahid
Rajaee New Year's Eve.
The
Panamanian-flagged, 9,400-TEU MSC Domitille left Shanghai with 1,162
TEU on board before arriving at Shahid Rajaee Port on its first call in
the company's weekly service.
The
last MSC ship that berthed in Iran was the 14,000-TEU MSC Beatrice in 2009,
which also docked at Shahid Rajaee.
A
day after the nuclear deal was finalised between Iran and the Group
5+1 (Russia, China, the US, Britain, France, and Germany) back in July,
MSC's
CEO Diego Aponte welcomed the deal, saying his company is willing to
cooperate with the Islamic Republic of Iran Shipping Lines (IRISL) in diverse
areas.
