Afghanistan To Become A Member of International Chamber of Shipping

(MENAFN- Wadsam) Afghanistan
has submitted its proposal for the International Chamber of Shipping (ICS)
membership.

This
comes as Afghan traders demand for the establishment of shipping route in
Chabahar port for a year now.

Afghanistan
faces difficulties in the establishment of shipping companies in Chabahar Port as
the country is not an ICS member.

The
Afghanistan Chamber of Commerce and Industries (ACCI) said the Afghan private
sector was ready to purchase the ships but were not able to due to the ICS
membership issue.

Presently,
goods from Afghanistan arrive in trucks to Chabahar Port where Indian ships
transfer them to the Indian markets.

Afghanistan
is preparing to send the second shipment of goods to the Indian markets via
Chabahar port.
