bahonar port

2. Shahid bahonar port:
The Port of Bandar Abbas(Shahid Rajaee) is composed of
two sections. The new port area is called the Shahid
Rajaie Port Complex, and the older port is called Shahid
Bahonar.
The port of Shahid Bahonar is located in 27º08' N and
56º12' E from the sea position in north of Qeshm Island at
the entrance of the Persian Gulf.
Shahid Bahonar port is located 8 km west of city of
Bandar Abbas and is connected to Tehran and other cities
by air, paved roads and newly opened railway system.
Shaid Bahonar port plays host to nearly 5% of the total
Iran’s port activities

3. Shahid bahonar port:
Shahid Bahonar also serves as a transit route and transportation
hub due to its 12 berths and access to open seas as well as its
proximity to the Persian Gulf littoral states
It is one of the most active southern ports of Iran for both
passenger and freight transport. The port enjoys a strategic
position due to its proximity to the Persian Gulf littoral states and
the Iranian islands of Qeshm and Kish
Bandar Shahid Bahonar enjoying 12 berths, access to open seas,
proximity with the Persian Gulf littoral states and having proper
depth of water for mooring has been turned into a strategic and
important commercial port in the region.
Plays a major role in export and transit of goods and commodities
Oil exports from the Shahid Bahonar port in the south of Iran
increased by 40% over the past four years.

4. Planning process
• The port was built by OMRAN SAZEH KASHIGARI Group
• The port of Shahid Bahonar is at the mouth of the Strait of Hormuz. It is the only Iranian
port with direct access to the Indian Ocean.
• The port has the capacity of handling 70 million tons of cargo annually .
• 1,598,000 square meters area was required to accommodate transportation.

5. Planning process-engineering plans
• The Port of Bandar Abbas has ten berths for general cargo with a total length of
2000 meters (6562 feet) and alongside depths from 11 to 14 meters (36.1 to 45.9
feet).
• The Port container terminal has five berths with a total length of 1000 meters (3281
feet) and alongside depth of 14 meters (45.9 feet).
• There are four berths totaling 720 meters (2362 feet) in length with alongside
depths from 11 to 14 meters for special cargoes, including dry bulk.
• The Port area has two multi-purpose berths handling cargoes like liquid bulk.
• These berths total 400 meters (1312 feet) in length and have alongside depths
from 11 to 14 meters.

6. Planning process Challenge and Solution:
• Approximately 550,000 m3 of rock materials was required. However it was not available in
near area.
• One option was to import from other countries. However this would result in huge cost of
port.
Solution:
• For solution, initial part of port was constructed with available rock material and then rock
material was gather from mountains of Iran via train track.
• Train Track was established.

7. Detailed information about construction:
Approximately 550,000
m3 of rock materials are
estimated to be required
in the construction.
Well-graded quartz sands
are the preferred material
for landfills.
12,500 ton of cement is
required.
Approx 6300 – 7200 kg or
6.3 – 7.2 MT of Steel was
required for 1800 per
square feet.
Soils at depths between
80 and 90 feet is used.

8. Detailed information about construction:
Ship and terminal demand
characteristics determine the
requirements for terminal
construction in terms of
nautical access conditions,
quay walls, and terminal layout
and equipment:
Land reclamation was based
on hydraulic fill, a process
whereby sediment or rock
excavated by dredgers from
the seabed or other borrow
areas is transported and placed
into the designated
reclamation area.
Maintenance dredging is done
to maintain an existing
waterway or channel.
Embedded retaining walls
include sheet-pile walls and in-
situ concrete pile walls.
Gravity walls are built behind
a cofferdam in the dry and
are constructed in situ.

9. Construction phases:
The development plan for the
shahid Bahonar Port was done
in two phases to add berths
capable of berthing the largest
modern vessels and to expand
the port area and operations.
Phase 1 has been completed. It
added two new container
berths that can accommodate
seventh generation container
ships and to handle three
million TEUs
Each of these new Port
container berths is 1000 meters
(3281 feet) in length with
alongside depth of 17 meters
(55.8 feet).

10. Construction phases:
Phase 1 upgraded the Port with
capacity to berth vessels to 145
thousand DWT(Deadweight
tonnage)
Also part of Phase 1 in the Port ,
the entrance channel and the
basin were dredged to bring the
port to a volume of 11.5 million
cubic meters
The Port of container yard was
also expanded to 67 hectares
Phase 2 of the Port development
plan, which is in progress, calls for
the development of new berths
of 2020 meters (6627 feet) with
alongside depth of 16 meters
(52.5 meters) and the dredging of
second and third basins

11. Construction phases:
Phase 2 includes adding a
container stacking area and the
addition of 18 sixth-generation
gantry cranes and 45
transtainers.
In order to speed the
construction process, the Port
Phase 2 includes the creation
of a transit and bunkering
terminal in partnership with
the private sector.
In the eastern complex, Phase
2 also calls for establishing of a
transit and oil export function
The new terminal will be
located near the oil cargo
berths and will be connected
to the country's rail network,
facilitating the processing of oil
cargo.

12. Construction phases:
Berths 4, 5, 6, 7, 25, 26, and 27 in the
shahid Bahonar Port handle containerized
cargo and constructed individually.
the total length of these berths is 2270
meters (7447 feet), and they have with
maximum alongside ship drafts from 11.3
meters (37.1 feet) to 14.5 meters (47.6
meters) Berths 4 through 7 can handle
throughput to 60 thousand tons, and
Berths 25 through 27 can handle
throughput to 145 thousand tons.
Berths 21 through 24, which will be
dedicated to containerized cargo, are
under construction.

13. Construction challenge and solution:
• During construction designers and contractors faced issue of corrosion.
• Due to moisture environment iron used in port started to corrode resulting in loss.
Solution:
• Plating, painting, and the application of enamel were done as part of anti-corrosion
treatments
• They work by providing a barrier of corrosion-resistant material between the damaging
environment and the structural material.

14. Operation and maintenance-Lifespan
• Upon Assessment design lifespan of ports is about 30–50 years
• Maintenance occur daily and cracks were checked as an unrepaired crack in a
boom can turn into a major structural weakness and result in the collapse of the
boom and loss of valuable cargo
• Once a year port is closed and complete check is done before being operational
• Safety Alarms have been placed in case issue in Maintenance remains
unchecked.

15. Operation and maintenance-Events and environment
• In 2017,Port face electricity breakdown result in loss in transportation time.
• In 2020s floods causes damage to port and port remain shut down for days.
• In 2021due explosion in one of cargo,whole cargo process stop.
• Due to blockage of suez canal this port was badly suffered due to stock of cargo.

16. Operation and maintenance-Events and environment
• Waste from ships and other port activities can result in loss or degradation of habitat
areas and can also harm marine life.
• Noise and vibration generated by road traffic, cargo operations, ship traffic and other port
activities have caused nuisances to local people.
• Waste management relates to all kinds of wastes, both liquid and solid, likely to be disposed of
in the port area.Port area was cleaner before.
• Air quality consists of two main elements: (a) soot and dust, measured by suspended
particulate matter (SPM), which originate from dry bulk cargo handling and storage,
construction work on land, and road traffic; and (b) concentration of sulfur dioxide (S02)'
nitrogen dioxide (N02), carbon monoxide (CO), and hydrocarbons (HC) emitted from ships,
vehicles and various equipment used for port activities. Harmful substances and odour are also
elements to be considered in this category.

17. Operation and maintenance-Events and environment
• local community and people's life style such as relocation of villages, industrialization,
population growth nearby, and the formation of slums have increased due to Shahid
Bahonar port.
• causes an adverse effect on global climate change.
• Port expansion results in dredging and land reclamation, increased handling,
storage and processing of hazardous substances in ports,
