An interesting blog by ship agency Tuscor Lloyds. Sanctions in Iran are due to be lifted by the end of this year, so what does that mean for trade and transport?

But plans are already under way: Antwerp port is jockeying for position and has already been to the country to talk transport.  Overall, notes this concise article, while there is much potential, there are also a few challenges to overcome.
