Port of Astara

The construction of Astara port dates back to 1375. The purpose of building this port in its initial plan was to build a fishing, commercial and passenger port, and based on this plan, two separate ponds, one for the fishing sector, and the other for other uses, while only the first pond should be built. That is, its fishing part was built and used for fishing activities, and the breakwater related to the second pond was left incomplete and half-worked.

After the extinction of the Kilka fish, fishing activities also stopped and the fishing port of Astara practically turned into an abandoned port, and the heavy capital that was spent from the country's public budget for the construction of breakwaters, docks, piers, buildings, dredging, etc. remained unused. And it just became a place for the mooring of Navy frigates. Considering the convenient geographical location of Astara in terms of proximity to the provinces of Zanjan, Azarbaijan (East and West), and Ardabil on the one hand and thinking about the role of the port in urban development in the minds of the officials on the other hand, it was one of the reasons that the necessity of reviving the port in the form of Business-passenger activities intensified. Therefore, based on the Resolution No. 166265/36895 dated 13/12/85 of the honorable government board, the operation of the existing wharves of the province was approved in coordination with the Ministry of Roads and Transportation.
