Maritime trade between Iran and Qatar has resumed after a suspension of around five months, according to Iran's commercial attaché in Doha. Shipping between the two countries restarted following coordination between Iranian and Qatari authorities.
Abbas Abdolkhani told Iranian state media on Sunday that shipping between Iran's Dayyer Port and Qatar's Al Ruwais Port had resumed following coordination between the Iranian embassy in Doha and Qatari authorities.
The two ports, which sit opposite each other across the Gulf, are an important link for regional trade, particularly for smaller commercial shipments.
The resumption follows an interim agreement signed by Tehran and Washington last month, which ended four months of hostilities and called for maritime traffic in the Gulf to return to pre-war levels.
While the deal paved the way for shipping to resume, transit in and out of the Gulf remains contested, highlighting the fragile nature of the recovery.
Dayyer Port was struck several times during the conflict, disrupting trade links between Iran and Qatar and damaging one of the country's key regional trading routes.
The reopening of the Dayyer–Al Ruwais shipping route is the latest indication that commercial activity across the Gulf is gradually recovering.
In late June, an official from Iran's Trade Promotion Organisation said Iranian goods were once again being cleared through the U.A.E.'s Jebel Ali Port, the region's largest shipping hub, after months of disruption.
The return of maritime trade between Iran and Qatar is expected to ease the flow of goods between the two countries, although uncertainty continues to surround wider shipping routes across the Gulf.
