Commercial ports are entry and exit of goods to the country and their threats, is exports and imports threatening and can effect from a macro level of the national economy to the smallest aspects of life and the livelihood of people.Their variety, number, position and placement on the beaches and national and especially international role in the international exchange of goods and transit can be effective in their security. Qualitative and quantitative planning a location needs to have comprehensive information of the technical, economical, defensive, social and environmental impacts at the macro level. Nowadays countries that have experienced damage caused by the disaster in order to maintain the national capital, pay special attention to the passive defense and self-defense strategy have placed a special place for it and in their defense strategy have placed a special place for it. So we should pay special attention to the principle site selection.In this article, we tried to identify and rank the passive defense measures affecting the site selection commercial ports-in order to minimize the damage and the possible consequences- the required information that has been completed by design paired comparisons questionnaire, according to research by experts, has been extracted and analyzed using Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) in Expert Choice Application. After analyzing these comments based on AHP, it was shown that respondents selected communications networks and roads factors as the most important criteria and entry and exit ways (Hinterland) as sub criteria.

Water is balanced with fresh water or salinity, which is kept together with suspended matter in tank tanks and cargo stores. This water is used to maintain the stability of the ship and its ability to maneuver during the journey when the goods are not being shipped, or the goods are heavy enough or when more turbulent because of the shores of the sea is needed. Water balances in the port are pumped into the balancing tanks at the port and deactivated in the next port when the ship is loading more. Therefore, due to these steps, water balance is a mixture of water from different ports. Water discharged from water reservoirs usually contains various compounds and organisms, including plants, animals, viruses and bacteria, and can cause the transmission of many aquatic organisms and pathogens associated with them. In the last decade, the application of chemical coagulation technology has been studied in removing various contaminants of turbidity, hardness, arsenic from water. Electric coagulation due to the use of electric current has a high efficiency in removing organic matter and is a suitable alternative for expensive chemical methods. In the process of electrical coagulation, the electrodes are affected by strong electric field and oxidation and reduction reactions, and by providing the coagulants in the place, based on the principles of absorption, neutralization of the charge, and the creation of a complex, the field provides for the removal of the pollutants from the aqueous medium. By direct injection of hydrogen peroxide into the environment under the coagulation process where iron ions are available, it is possible to create the process of fenton in aqueous samples. The process of fenton is derived from the combination of two materials of hydrogen peroxide and iron ions, in which ionized iron forms are reacted as a catalyst with hydrogen peroxide, which increases the production and rate of radical hydroxyl formation. As a result, it can be expected that electrochemical systems, with the fact that seawater has a significant EC, can do organic pollutants in water-tank water safety, with efficient and cost-effective performance compared to other treatment systems.

The satisfaction of the customers will not be achieved without providing quality services to them. It should be quite clear that what is going to be done for fulfilling the needs of the customers. Therefore, it is necessary that the performance should be measured and verified having regard to the customers' expectations.In evaluation of the performance in loading and discharge of cargo in a port, it is important to know that how much of assets such as berth should be utilized. To this end, the main question of this research is that: How has been the performance of the Shahid Rajaee port container operators in the past three years? To answer this question, the methodology applied in this research has been calculation of a set of port and maritime indicators approved by UNCTAD. In a study conducted about these two terminals it became clear that Beta (one of the container operators), an average of 1030 TEU per ship, during the past three years, has been handled while in the same period, on average some 2342 TEU per ship have been handled Sina (the other container operator). Statistics demonstrate that the ship arriving in terminal II have almost two times the capacity of the ship going to terminal I and terminal II has recorded the higher norms in respect of container handling compared to terminal I and the main reason being the torn-out equipment used in the berths of terminal I.In aggregate, this research showed that the arrival of the container ships during the past three years has increased in the port and the main reason for this has been the lifting of sanctions which has led to a positive impact on cargo import and export in the country.

The attraction of foreign investment is from the goals of developing countries such as Iran, which, besides the abundance of manpower, is clearly evident in the lack of it. Therefore, the present study uses the Johansson Joycelus method to investigate the effect of financial liberalization on the attraction of foreign investment in Iran during the period from 1359 to 1393. Eviews methods and econometric techniques and software were used to study and analyze the data and present the model. The current research, in terms of its nature and objectives, is a type of exploratory research and a methodological descriptive survey, and, given that the results of this research can be used in practice, it is an applied research. The research findings showed that there is a positive and significant relationship between foreign investment attraction and financial liberalization, consumer purchasing power, market size and gross fixed capital formation, and there is a negative relationship between attracting foreign investment and trade liberalization.

In this research, the identification and prioritization of factors affecting the companies' incentives to export from ports has been addressed. Nowshahr port is selected as a sample for study. Therefore, the needs of the two groups of exporting and transporting (forwarders) as a research community were studied. With the advancement of technology and the changing needs of customers, continuous development of ports is considered as one of the requirements of the port, and ports should recognize these needs and take action to resolve them. In carrying out this research, the most important factors in decision making for export from port were identified by reviewing and studying past research.Delphi method was used for extracting and evaluating the factors affecting export companies. In the next step, eight factors were selected as the most important factors. Finally, using the hierarchical analysis process to prioritize factors, it was shown that the two groups have similarities and differences in their choices. Although both groups have the same sensitivity to customs formalities, the level of technology used in the port, the availability of empty and safe ports at ports and loading speeds, exporters have a greater emphasis on providing electronic information (Internet service), while forwarders have a ship-to-ship They consider harbor more important.

The main purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between managers' self-esteem and job satisfaction of employees in the ports and maritime organizations. The statistical population of this research is all managers and employees of the Northern ports of the country's ports and marinas. In this research, two standard questionnaires have been used. The present study has a main hypothesis and five sub-hypotheses. Pearson test was used for their analysis. In other words, managers can improve their job satisfaction by improving their self-esteem.

Imam Khomeini (BIK) port is more than 70 years old, it has 37 jetties in special Economic zone (SES) of BIK. About 32 percent of foreign trade exchange of Iran is passing through this port. The BIK port has access to 70 percent of crowded and industrial centers, so it is the 2nd biggest trade port of Iran and one of the most important logistic centers of the country. This port also was selected a grain hub of the country. Regarding the importance of creating enough storing spaces for reserving the corps (grain) for 20 coming years, it is needed to consider the current available warehouses and predict enough warehouse spaces for transiting these kinds of goods. This investigation and data collecting was carried out via SWOT techniques, preparing questionnaire and finally analyzing the collected data by using AHP hierarchal model. According to the obtained findings of internal and external matrix and formation of quantitative strategic planning matrix, it was determined that the organization is in an aggressive status and this is because of the fact that internal strengths overcome internal weaknesses and environmental opportunities overcome the threats. The research is consisted of three scenarios which are as follows: a scenario with particular focus on the next twenty-year outlook, then the scenarios of absorption of the markets of south-north corridor, and finally a scenario of building factories that employ grain raw materials, Regarding the traffic load of goods in next twenty-years in BIK, which was estimated about 10 million tons for this period. We think if the under construction warehouses in BIK complete, there will be no need to negotiate to build new warehouse buildings. So the completed buildings which are being made in BIK at the moment are sufficient to afford the traffic load of goods in future outlook of coming twenty years.

Today, business organizations have become one of the most diverse and complex systems. Therefore, the scientific knowledge of this phenomenon requires analysis of its different structural dimensions. Increasing global trade has led to a shift in port generation and fundamental changes in the logistics cycle, transportation, import and export of goods, as well as the revolution in the offshore industry, including the construction of new ports. The general objective of this research is to investigate the effect of organizational structure on the amount of exports and imports at the General Office of Ports and Marine Affairs of Guilan Province (Bandar Anzali, Iran). The research method is descriptive and correlational. The data gathering method is a field and data collection tool is a questionnaire. The statistical population of this study is customers (including exporters and importers) of the General Directorate of Ports and Marine Affairs of Guilan Province (Bandar Anzali). Considering the number of statistical population and using Morgan's table, the sample size was 384 people. A total of 425 questionnaires were used by non-inferential sampling method available to customers. Finally, 394 questionnaires were collected from customers, and the collected data were analyzed. The results of the research showed that the organizational structure tends to increase the level of export and import.
