IRMRX Port Code Lookup
Total 1 ports of IRMRX
Bandar-e Mah Shahr Port is the seaport of Bandar-e mah shahr, in the city of Bandar-e mah shahrin Iran. Overseas routes include Middle East, Port code is IRMRX.
Port Overview
Bandar-e Mahshahr Port, UN/LOCODE IRMRX, is a specialized oil port operated within the National Iranian Oil Company’s logistics environment. It is located in southwest Iran near the lower reaches of the Ghazaieh River, approximately six nautical miles northeast of Bandar Khomeini in the Khor Musa waterway. The port is primarily suited to petroleum and liquid-bulk movements rather than standard containerized cargo. Our service team uses the port’s tanker profile, cargo compatibility, draft restrictions and Iranian regulatory requirements as the starting point for routing and documentation review.
| Port code | IRMRX |
|---|---|
| Port / city | BANDAR-E MAH SHAHR, Iran |
| Coordinates | 30.4649163 N, 49.1794472 E |
| Recorded vessel limits | Maximum vessel length: 183 m; maximum draught: 11.5 m; maximum deadweight: 49,288 t |
Key Highlights
- Liquid-bulk and petroleum orientation: the port record identifies oil and chemical tankers as the principal regular vessel category.
- Recorded handling rates are approximately 2,500 tonnes per hour for diesel, 5,000 tonnes for fuel, 2,200 tonnes for gasoline and 2,100 tonnes for naphtha.
- The port is close to Bandar Khomeini, allowing route planning to consider the wider Khor Musa port environment while keeping the nominated port code IRMRX unchanged.
- Vessel acceptance requires early checking of length, draught, deadweight, cargo compatibility and berth-specific restrictions.
- Container FCL/LCL assumptions should not be made from a conventional liner-port workflow; our team verifies whether the nominated terminal can receive the proposed cargo before booking.
Facilities & Services
- Petroleum liquid handling: the supplied port data records dedicated handling capability for diesel, fuel, gasoline and naphtha. Actual product acceptance, pumping rate and berth availability require confirmation for each shipment.
- Tanker operations: oil and chemical tanker calls are the relevant operating model. Vessel nomination should include cargo type, quantity, manifold information and compatibility documents.
- Marine access: the port is positioned in the Ghazaieh River and Khor Musa area. Pilotage, approach, tide, under-keel clearance and navigation instructions should be checked with the local agent.
- Container and general cargo: the supplied record shows no FCL, LCL or automotive service count. We therefore treat containerized, breakbulk and ro-ro handling as subject to prior terminal confirmation rather than as standard services.
- Inland collection: road tanker, truck access, loading windows, driver credentials and route permissions must be arranged case by case through the appointed Iranian agent.
Routes & Transit Times
- Typical planning is based on regional Persian Gulf feeder, tanker or inter-port movements, with onward routing determined by the cargo, vessel type, sanctions screening and the receiving terminal.
- For containerized or non-liquid cargo, our team normally evaluates nearby alternative gateways and inland transfer arrangements instead of assuming a direct liner service to IRMRX.
- Transit time can be affected by vessel nomination, berth queue, pilotage, river or channel conditions, customs release, inspection, banking restrictions and documentation acceptance.
- No fixed sailing frequency, direct service, port cut-off or transit commitment should be inferred from the port code. Carrier, terminal and local-agent confirmation is required before quotation.
Hinterland & Key Cargo
- Primary cargo profile: diesel, fuel, gasoline, naphtha and other petroleum or compatible chemical liquid-bulk products, subject to terminal acceptance and applicable Iranian controls.
- Industrial hinterland: the port’s location in southwest Iran and proximity to Bandar Khomeini support petroleum-related coastal and industrial logistics in the Khor Musa area.
- Equipment profile: tanker vessels and liquid-cargo transfer systems are more relevant than container yard operations for the port’s stated role.
- Inland delivery: road tanker or specialized truck planning should account for product classification, route restrictions, loading-site safety rules and the final consignee’s storage authorization.
Operations & Compliance
- Booking and cut-off: obtain the terminal’s latest nomination, cargo acceptance, documentation and vessel-arrival deadlines. A generic liner cut-off cannot be applied to this oil-port workflow.
- Dangerous goods: petroleum products and many chemical liquids require accurate UN number, proper shipping name, flash point, SDS, packing or tank details and emergency-response information. The cargo must be reviewed before nomination.
- Documents: commercial invoice, packing or quantity specification, certificate of origin where required, SDS, cargo quality documents, vessel certificates, charter-party instructions and import/export permits should be aligned before loading.
- Inspection and release: customs, port, petroleum and security checks may extend the operation. Our team recommends reserving time for sampling, quantity measurement, seal verification and possible documentary or physical inspection.
- Sanctions and payment screening: Iran-related trade, banking, insurance, vessel ownership and counterparties require transaction-specific legal and compliance review before a booking or quotation is confirmed.
Shipping Tips
- Send the complete cargo profile at the enquiry stage, including product name, UN number if applicable, quantity, density, flash point, temperature requirements and tank type.
- Nominate a vessel with adequate compatibility margins rather than planning to the recorded maximum draught or deadweight. Final limits must be confirmed for the intended berth and sailing condition.
- Use an experienced local agent to coordinate pilotage, berth nomination, customs, port security, sampling, quantity determination and truck or tanker dispatch.
- For containers, general cargo or cargo without confirmed liquid-bulk acceptance, ask our service team to compare nearby gateways and inland alternatives before issuing shipping instructions.

Data Sources & Provenance
The port code, name, country, city, coordinates, vessel dimensions and handling figures in this module are taken from the supplied IRMRX port record. Operational details such as berth acceptance, current draft limits, cargo compatibility, inspection practice, cut-off times and routing availability are time-sensitive and must be reconfirmed with the nominated terminal, carrier and local agent.
The UN/LOCODE framework can be cross-checked through the International Maritime Organization at imo.org. This reference does not replace terminal confirmation or validate time-sensitive commercial operating conditions. No unsupported berth count, annual throughput, sailing frequency, container capacity, tariff or guaranteed transit time is stated.
