"Ideal natural
and geographical features and appropriate industrial
capacities maximize the prospects of Chah Bahar for
becoming one of the world's significant free industrial
zones."

Geographical and natural features:

 |

Located in the vicinity of the city
of Chah Bahar and encompassing a 14,000 hectare area,
Chah Bahar free trade and industrial zone is both situated
in the most south-eastern point of Iran's main land
and on the coast of Chah Bahar Gulf. Distance wise,
this region also constitutes the nearest port along
the international water towards the middle - Asian countries.
From climatological view point, Chah Bahar enjoys the
coolest climate and also contains the most scenic coasts
along the sea of Oman.Due to its unique strategic position
and potential capacities suitable for transforming into
one of the world's significant free industrial zones,
quite appropriately 10,000 hectares out of Chah Bahar's
total area is already allocated to industrial sector.
More over, as the most secure region along, the coasts
of sea of Oman and the Persian Gulf, this strategic
zone is also situated in the direction of major shipping
lanes and the favourable depth of oman's water within
the coasts of Chah Bahar also provides this region with
a superior natural feature. For instance, the depth
of Oman's water in the surrounding areas of Chah Bahar
reaches 3398m where as the depth along the straits of
Hormoz is gradually reduced to 73m

Existence of necessary infrastructure
such as suitable roads for the rapid-transit of cargos
from Chah Bahar to middle-Asia, appropriate port facilities
capable of annually loading and unloading over 6.5 million
tons of cargos, cheaper labour force or man power, accessible
and reasonably - priced electric power (electricity)
and other fossil fuels together distinguish Chah Bahar
-- vis-a-vis other neighbouring areas-- as an outstanding
and important trade and industrial zone. Consequently,
construction of massive road transportation system,
connection of Chah Bahar with Iran's national rail ways
and thus with that of middle - Asia, construction of
international airport in the of available possibilities,
establishment of further port facilities, rapid establishment
of domestic and foreign banking systems as well as local
and international insurance agencies in this free industrial
zone not only mark a great significance for the Chah
Bahar free trade and industrial zone organization, but
also constitute a top priority for the government of
the Islamic Republic of Iran -- in so far as the development
projects of the free trade zones are concerned.
