Bushehr is very well placed to support the Dorood, Hendijan and possibly Foroozan offshore projects and, in fact, IOSC has been awarded the contract to provide Handling/Lifting/Transportation Services to TotalFinaElf in support of the offshore portion of its Dorood buy-back project. Bushehr can also support the Kharg Island operation where the Dorood onshore drilling will take place.

IOSC has signed a contract with the Ports and Shipping Organisation (PSO) of the Islamic Republic of Iran for office, guesthouse, open and closed storage and harbour facilities within its Bushehr facilities to support the Dorood project. Additionally, IOSC will provide vessel clearance services, customs clearances and waste disposal services from the Bushehr Port.

Bushehr already houses the IOSC operations for NIOC but this area is considered a little congested hence the move to PSO facilities not far away.

Some distances from Bushehr are: -

       Kharg Island                       - 67         kilometers
       Bandar Imam Khomeini        - 258        kilometers
       Kish Island                         - 458        kilometers
       Bandar Abbas                     - 725        kilometers

Bushehr is served by an international airport situated only 3 kilometers from the port and the airport has daily flights within Iran to cities such as Tehran, Isfahan and Shiraz and flights to Dubai in the United Arab Emirates.

Due to Bushehr's support of the oil and gas industry which has spanned many years, there does exist a large pool of well-qualified Iranians who could perform exceptional service with suitable training and the right equipment.

IOSC is committed to the process of indigenisation without comprising the level of service and is further committed to a strong Health, Safety and Environmental orientation.
