Vessel Description

LC Sahel Khamir is an Iranian-flagged landing craft operating primarily within the Persian Gulf region. As a landing craft, the vessel is designed for shallow-water operations and shoreside beaching, enabling the loading and discharge of cargo, vehicles, and equipment in ports and locations lacking conventional deep-water berth infrastructure. The vessel is well suited to the numerous island communities and smaller coastal facilities throughout the Persian Gulf, particularly around the Qeshm and Hormuz island areas near the port of Khamir. The relatively shallow draft of the vessel makes it highly capable in the coastal and inshore trading environment characteristic of Iranian Gulf operations.
