Bandar-e Anzali, located on the Caspian Sea, offers a unique port experience in Iran. While generally known for its natural beauty, seafarers should approach with an awareness of local customs and the broader regional political context. The port facilities are operational, and the city provides local amenities for those able to venture ashore.
Logistics & Access
Vessels calling at Bandar-e Anzali operate under standard ISPS Level 1, though it is prudent to confirm the current security level with your local agent. Port access is strictly controlled, and shore passes will be mandatory and issued via your vessel's agent. Due to the broader geopolitical climate concerning Iran, seafarers are advised to exercise extreme caution, adhere strictly to local laws and cultural norms, and avoid any sensitive areas or discussions.

While the Caspian Sea itself is not an HRA for piracy, the internal security situation and political sensitivities in Iran warrant a cautious approach.
