The
first international container ships began arriving in Iran this week in the aftermath of the
nuclear deal between Tehran and World powers. Since 2012, Iran had to rely on its
own commercial fleet for much of its import as new sanctions led to an exodus
of Western shipping firms, leading to supply disruption. In one of the first
signs of change, the world’s third largest shipping group, France’s CMA CGM,
said on Monday it would restart services to Iran in early August, Reuters reported.

Taiwanese
container line Evergreen, the world’s fifth biggest player, has also resumed calls
to Bandar Abbas and its first vessel also arrived on Thursday.
