Ports play a quite fundamental role in global business and a port's development claims a substantial share in the business growth. Port development itself requires expansion of the port's infrastructure which is readily overly visible in the giant development projects designed and executed in the world during recent years.

In March 1997, Bonyad Barandaz Co. was established by the "Mostazafan Foundation" (Foundation for the oppressed) with a mission to offer port services including loading and unloading operations at Iranian ports and customs. With 22 years of experience in port services, and an impressive fleet of various port machinery and equipment, Bonyad Barandaz Co. is capable of servicing million Tons of cargo each year.
