IRAN's state-run shipping company began its first transfer of Russian goods to India, utilising a trade corridor that transits the Islamic Republic, reports Bloomberg.
The Russian cargo consists of two FEU containers of wood laminate sheets that departed St Petersburg for the Caspian Sea port city of Astrakhan.
The report didn't say when the cargo left or give any more details about the goods in the shipment.
From Astrakhan, the cargo will cross Caspian to the northern Iranian port of Anzali and will be transferred by road to the southern port of Bandar Abbas on the Persian Gulf.
Lastly, it will be loaded onto a ship and sent to the Indian port of Nhava Sheva, Mumbai.
The transfer was managed by the state-run Islamic Republic of iran Shipping Lines and its regional offices in Russia and India.
Meanwhile, Iranian officials have been keen to revive a stalled project to develop the so-called North-South Transit Corridor that uses Iran to link Russia to Asian export markets.
