Owing to continuous working relations with the Railways of the Islamic Republic of Iran as well as capable companies in the petrochemical sector of Iran – such as, Pars Oil company, Jay Oil company, Iranol, Behran Oil Company, Ore and Mine, Agricultural Industries, Construction Structures Industries – the Pacific company has the potential to deploy large rail transportation capacity, which in addition to transferring general cargo, can accomplish all the works related to loading and transporting liquids of bulk derivatives, base oils and various types of bitumen through flexi.

By the Middle Ages, industry had advanced to such an extent that traditional modes of transportation were no longer responsive, and artisans were trying to find new and effective ways. It was in 1556 that several German engineers built small rails to facilitate the movement of coal to guide coal trucks out of the mine. Initially, the rails were made of wood that did not have much strength; Hence, wooden rails gradually gave way to cast iron strips, and this is how giant wagons were invented. Steam-powered wagons no longer needed manpower or animals to move. Sustainable and inherited characteristics of rail transport compared to other transportation sectors, including higher carrying capacity and safety factor, lower energy consumption and less environmental pollution, have made this method of transportation always of special interest to traders and Owners of goods to be placed. The role of railways in the growth and development of the economy, agricultural prosperity, especially the production and exports of countries, is inevitable to the extent that today, in addition to connecting ports and mines to rail networks, most large industrial plants are equipped with roadside lines. Have made iron and have chosen this method of transportation as their link with raw material supply centers and the country’s exit borders.
