Abstract

What has initiated the idea of this research is the situation of marine, rail and road transportations in the south region of Iran, the Persian Gulf and Oman see. There are a few large Iranian ports in the region (e.g. Imam Khomeini and Shahid Rajaee) that have been equipped to serve large containerships while, most of the other ports either have not been developed or their geographical and topological restrictions do not let them to serve large ships. For instance, Abadan and Khorramshahr were two active ports and main Iranian Import/Export terminals until the Iraqi army attacked them in 1981. Although, the war finished in 1989, nowadays these are unable to serve current fleet of large container ships due to the limitation of their water way, the Arvand- River. Therefore, their rail and road transportation systems' capacity are mostly unused. On the other hand, due to the national economic development programs and the especial attention to the Iranian 20 year's economic vision, Iran needs to develop continuously new transportation capacities as well as better utilization of the existing capacities. To develop the transportation capacity, one way is to invest on the existing ports in order to serve larger ships. However, in one hand, the investment should continuously grow because, as the literature shows, mega-ships and rapidships are going to emerge until the year 2020. On the other hand, some of the ports, due to their geographical situation, are not able to catch any share of those investments. Therefore, we need to find a way to activate the small ports to use their capacities.
