We offer professional container shipping services from Iran to Russia. Over the years, we have accumulated significant experience in this field and established reliable logistics chains. Today, Iran is one of Russia’s key trading partners with a growing trade turnover exceeding $5 billion annually. We deliver containers through the main ports of the Caspian Sea and the Persian Gulf, ensuring the transportation of a wide range of goods: from food and textiles to industrial equipment and construction materials.
Advantages of Container Shipping from Iran
By choosing container freight from Iran with WestComTrans, you get a number of significant advantages:
- Cargo Safety — containers reliably protect goods from external influences, mechanical damage, and theft.
- Versatility — the ability to transport virtually any type of cargo, including oversized and those requiring special storage conditions.
- Cost-Effectiveness — optimal ratio of cost and volume of transported cargo.
- Multimodality — easy integration into mixed transportation using various types of transport.
- Convenience of Customs Clearance — the container is sealed at the point of departure and opened only at the destination.
- Consolidation Opportunity — combining cargo from multiple customers to reduce delivery costs.
Compared to road transportation, delivering a container from Iran by sea provides more favorable rates for transporting large batches of goods.

Yes, at WestComTrans, we offer services for the delivery of consolidated cargo from Iran. This is an optimal solution for clients whose volume of goods is insufficient to fill an entire container. We consolidate the cargo of several customers in one container, which significantly reduces transportation costs. The cost of transportation in this case is calculated proportionally to the occupied volume or weight of the cargo.
The total delivery time for a container from Iran to Moscow depends on the chosen route:
- Using the Caspian route (through the ports of Enzeli/Amir Abad — Astrakhan) with subsequent truck delivery — 14-18 days;
- Using the Southern route (through the port of Bandar Abbas — Novorossiysk/St. Petersburg) — 20-30 days;
- Using multimodal transportation through Azerbaijan — 12-15 days.
These timeframes include time for customs clearance. WestComTrans always informs clients of the exact delivery times when preparing a commercial offer.
Yes, our company has experience working with oversized and hazardous cargo from Iran. For transporting such cargo, we use specialized containers (Open Top, Flat Rack) or organize project shipments.
For the transportation of hazardous goods (ADR), we ensure compliance with all international safety requirements, obtain the necessary permits, and use specially equipped transport. Each such shipment is planned individually, taking into account the specifics of the cargo.
Sea freight rates are highly volatile and can be revised weekly. At WestComTrans, we offer rate fixation for the duration of the contract, allowing our clients to plan logistics expenses.
We provide full control over the movement of the container at all stages of transportation. Clients receive regular updates on the status of the cargo and can also track the location of the container in real-time with the help of a personal manager.
