Abbas Asadrouz, CEO of the Iranian Oil Terminals Company, emphasized the importance of this terminal as the largest oil export center in the country, stating that this terminal stores and exports about 93% of the country's crude oil.
Modernization of Infrastructure and Capacity Increase

Past Experiences and Their Impact on Current Performance
The CEO of the Iranian Oil Terminals Company, referring to the experiences of the Sacred Defense era and recent wars, pointed to the importance of the courage and resilience of employees in difficult conditions. "During the recent war, despite 548 attacks, the employees of the Khark oil terminal managed to export 70 million barrels of the country's oil. This spirit has been ingrained in different generations of oil industry employees and continues to manifest itself in the face of challenges."
Asadrouz emphasized that the goal of these efforts is to continue oil exports as a strategic component to support the national economy and that "stopping exports" has never been off the agenda of the employees.
