Port of Bandar Abbas

Shahid Rajaee Port, also known as the Port of Bandar Abbas or Bandar Abbas Port, is a maritime facility located in Iran on the Strait of Hormuz. It serves as a key gateway for Iran's international trade, handling containerized cargo, bulk commodities, and petroleum products. The port provides berthing, loading, and unloading services for vessels operating in the Persian Gulf and beyond. Its infrastructure includes terminals, storage yards, and customs facilities that support the movement of goods to and from inland destinations. The port's location enables it to act as a transshipment point for trade between Asia, Europe, and Africa. It plays a role in supporting Iran's economic activities by facilitating imports of essential goods and exports of domestic products.

The organisation's headquarters are situated in Iran, reflecting its status as a state‑affiliated entity under the country's maritime administration. Over recent years, the port has been the target of cyber incidents, including a 2020 attack that affected private operating systems without breaching the main authority's infrastructure and a 2025 incident that disrupted computer systems and was described by foreign observers as more damaging than officially acknowledged. These events highlight the port's exposure to cyber threats amid regional tensions. While specific details about ownership or subsidiary structure are not disclosed in the available sources, the port operates as part of Iran's broader port network. Its continued operation underscores its importance to national logistics despite the challenges posed by cybersecurity challenges.
