APRIN Dry Port (ADP) is Iran’s first rail-based container dry port and one of the country’s most strategically positioned Integrated Logistics Hubs. Located in Islamshahr, southwest of Tehran, APRIN serves as a key inland gateway connecting major seaports, industrial centers, consumer markets, and international trade corridors through Iran’s extensive railway network.
As a customs-bonded multimodal logistics terminal, ADP integrates rail transportation, road connectivity, warehousing, customs services, and container operations within a single integrated logistics hub. This integrated approach helps importers, exporters, shipping lines, freight forwarders, and logistics providers improve supply chain efficiency while reducing transportation costs and transit times.
Positioned at the crossroads of Iran’s railway network, APRIN provides direct access to major domestic and international trade routes. The terminal is connected to key corridors including the International North–South Transport Corridor (INSTC), the Southern Silk Road, TRACECA, and the ECO Corridors, creating efficient links between Iran, Central Asia, China, the CIS region, the Persian Gulf, and Europe.
Its close proximity to Tehran, Iran’s largest industrial and consumer market, further strengthens APRIN’s role as a strategic logistics gateway for cargo distribution across the country and beyond.
APRIN Dry Port has been developed with modern logistics infrastructure designed to support growing regional trade volumes. Phase I facilities include a handling capacity of 200,000 TEU annually, dedicated rail infrastructure, bonded storage areas, container yards, general cargo warehouses, temperature-controlled cold storage facilities, and reefer container support services.
In addition to its infrastructure, ADP offers a complete range of logistics solutions, including container handling, general cargo operations, container stuffing and stripping, bonded warehousing, customs clearance, container maintenance, empty container depot services, specialized customs services for vehicles, and last-mile delivery solutions. By bringing these services together within a single location, APRIN enables customers to simplify operations, reduce handling requirements, and optimize supply chain performance.
APRIN provides businesses with a unique combination of strategic location, multimodal connectivity, and integrated logistics services. Direct rail access to major seaports and border crossings helps reduce transportation costs while improving transit reliability, operational efficiency, and cargo security.
