The first foreign shipping line would resume activities in Iranian ports in coming days, and three other shipping lines would arrive at Shaheed Rajayee Port in Southern Iran soon, Deputy Head of Iranian Ports and Maritime Organization Ali Jahandideh announced.

"We have had enormous measures on entrance of local and foreign shipping lines to Shaheed Rajayee Port as a container port," Jahandideh said, the Iranian students' news agency reported.

"The first foreign shipping line will resume activities in Iranian ports in coming days," he said, adding Thai Wan Hai company is the first one willing to come back to Iran after ease of US-engineered western sanctions on the country.

The Iranian navigation official continued that the Thai company has transferred goods to Bushehr and Rajayee ports for test. The vessels would start to work routinely in the near future.

In January, Iranian Deputy Economy Minister Behrouz Alishiri underlined the upward trend of foreign investment in Iran despite the US-led unilateral sanctions against the country.
