Therefore, by understanding this necessity and the importance of the role of providing maritime logistics, it is inevitable and, on this basis, it can be the basis for the country to reach the international crossroads and become a pole in transit. Realizing this important by providing the desired infrastructure is nothing but turning Iran into a transit and commercial hub in the region and the world. But the achievement and provision of this important thing requires pathology and identifying the challenges and obstacles that exist in this direction, so that possible policy and executive proposals can be made in order to improve the maritime transit infrastructure in the horizon of the development of the country's sea base.
