Our History
- FARMAD was established as a General Trading Co., Ltd. in 1992 by Farhad and Mohammad who had just graduated from university. The word FARMAD derives from the first and last syllables of their names.
The two co-founders decided to put the company on suspension mode after a few months and pursue their shipping and logistics career when they received an attractive offer from a European freight forwarder that was providing them an intensive training while creating a nice encouraging platform to learn and grow. Since then, they both had several key positions in some of the most famous and reputable international shipping and freight forwarding companies. Later, they also built up their own business entities separately.
- In 2018, they decided to reactivate their first base – FARMAD Co., Ltd.- as a shipping agency and join their forces toward achieving bigger objectives in the shipping world.
- Then in 2020, FARMAD Shipping Company unveiled FARMAD CONTAINER LINE as an NVOCC, serving the Iran-India route, to exclusively accommodate Refrigerated goods being exported from Iran & Afghanistan to India and vice-versa, through Chabahar port of Iran.

We relocated our head office from Tehran to Chabahar in 2019 to emphasize our intention for playing an active role in the development of Chabahar Shahid Beheshti Port which has been taken over by government-owned India Ports Global Private Limited (IPGPL). IPGPL has selected Kaveh Port and Marine Services, an Iranian company, for running the interim operations that started in December 2018.

Our Vision
We have decided to put our three decades of shipping and multimodal transport knowledge and skills into use for developing the important International North-South Transport/Transit Corridor (INSTC), connecting the Commonwealth of Independent States (Caucasian countries …), Afghanistan, and Europe to the Persian Gulf via Iranian territory. INTSTC serves as a bridge between India and CIS, Afghanistan, Europe.
Our decision is also in line with the Ashgabat agreement which is a multimodal transport agreement between the governments of Iran, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, India, Pakistan, and Oman for creating an international transport and transit corridor facilitating transportation of goods between Central Asia and the Persian Gulf. The agreement came into force in April 2016. The agreement was originally signed by Iran, Oman, Qatar, Turkmenistan, and Uzbekistan on April 25, 2011. Qatar subsequently withdrew from the agreement in 2013, the same year Kazakhstan applied for membership, which was eventually approved in 2015. Pakistan has also joined the Agreement since November 2016. India formally joined in February 2018.
