The port has been designed in 3 phases, but until 2023 only the first phase has been fully operational.

According to statistics for unloading and loading of goods in 2020, this port is the fourth largest port in Iran, after Shahid Rajaei, Imam Khomeini and Qeshm port, and the largest port in Iran on the shore of the Caspian Sea.^[3]

It is connected to the Iran Railway, benefiting from 15 berths with a capacity of 7.5 million tons and from the connection capacity of the North-South International Transit Corridor (INSTC).^[4][5] The port, with an area of 1060 hectares, is the largest port in northern Iran.^[6]

In June 2023, a US intelligence finding reported that the port was used by Iran to supply Russia with both Iranian unmanned combat aerial vehicles (military drones) and equipment for building the Yelabuga drone factory, both for use in the Russian invasion of Ukraine.^[7]
