To supply the demands in supporting the drilling fleet in the Caspian Sea and increase the capacity of receiving crude oil, which includes:

1.     To provide suitable depth for the mooring of Caspian vessels and Iran Alborz Drilling Platform (Amir Kabir)

2.     To increase the capacity of receiving crude oil (SWAP or possible production) up to 500 thousand barrels per day (in short term) and increasing this number to 2500 thousand barrels per day (in long-term,)

3.     To provide necessary infrastructure for berthing vessels that carry oil and LPG products

 4.     The suitable depth for oil vessels with higher capacity is available in the basin.
