CONNECTION BETWEEN PAKISTAN’S GWADAR AND IRAN’S CHABAHAR
DECEMBER 29,2017 0COMMENTS

Iran says it has received a request from China to establish a connection between Pakistan’s Gwadar port – which Chinese companies are developing – and Iran’s southeastern port of Chabahar.

Abdolrahim Kordi, the Managing Director of Chabahar Free Trade Zone, was quoted by Iran’s media as saying that China had informed Iran that it was interested in using Chabahr to transit goods from Gwadar to regional and extra-regional destination points.

Kordi emphasized that there was no competition between Iran’s Chabahar and Pakistan’s Gawadar, stressing that the two could complement each other in terms of market access potentials.

Nevertheless, the official emphasized that the advantages of Chabahar were better than Gwadar in terms of road and rail connection facilities to key transportation points in regions as far as Central Asia and Europe.

Iran started a project to develop Chabahar port in 2007 through an investment that officials previously said already amounted to $1 billion.

The annual cargo tonnage of the port has now almost tripled to reach as high as 8.5 million tonnes.

It can also accommodate 100,000-tonne ships – what officials say can help promote the country’s international trade activities.

The overall development project is planned in four phases and is expected to bring the port’s total annual cargo capacity to 82 million tonnes.

The development of Chabahr port is being carried out by India. The country has committed $500 million to Chabahar which lies on the Gulf of Oman, aiming to join an increasingly important transport corridor to the resource-rich regional countries.

Massive investment plans are already on the cards, with India’s Prime Minister Modi offering to build a sprawling artery of roads and railways, which is estimated to cost $15 billion.

When development is complete, Chabahar will link with the International North-South Transportation Corridor (INSTC) which currently stretches from the Iranian port of Bandar Abbas in the Persian Gulf to Russia, Eurasia and Europe.

That would be nice i think. Chabahar has been aimed at Eastern EU markets, on the other side Gwadar directly makes a connection between Indian ocean and China's industrial cities. However Chabahar has a hort term economical usage for Afghanistan but mainly looks at EU countries. I hope it happens, good plan btw

You are missing the main point every one is looking what these 2 ports will do north side but missing what will these 2 ports do to the south side. China is coming in the Indian ocean and this is where the whole oil trade passes. USA is pissed on Iran and Pakistan because of this interlinking as USA thought India will separate Chahbahar from Gawadar and China will not be able to reach Iraq and Syria but now with this link they are going in every direction and USA is again Fcuked.

China should not be making such requests or decisions. Gwadar is Pakistan's land and should be a Pakistan's decision.

China is literally trying to outmaneuver India on Chabahar. Will be interesting to see how the Iranians react, and what the Indians do about it.

A very dangerous move.
If this happens, the US dollar will no longer remain the world's reserve currency
The Euro cannot take it's place.
Leaving the field clear for China.

Iran or any country can ship through Chabahar port. By paying a charge to whoever is operating the port at the time. It's in Irans soil, India is building and operating the port for a while.
