Ghasem Nabipour, the CEO of Khaybar, in an interview with MANA correspondent in addition to give information about setting up the Marine Online Store, announced the establishment of the first Iranian logistics quay in the near future. The details of this conversation are presented below.

The nature of the activities of Khaybar Company is to equip and supply the consumables data-x-items for the fleet of the Islamic Republic of Iran Shipping and other shipping companies that travel to Iranian ports.A procurement company should consider certain standards. On the other word, there must be a professional language between the buyer and the seller in order to act in accordance with the international standard for the sale of equipment. About 40 years ago, the International Marine Purchasing Association (IMPA) was established. All companies with a standard for buying and selling marine supplies have the possibility of being a member of this association. By this way, currently there are 2500 companies in the world which are members of IMPA.The quality of the products, the satisfaction of the shipping companies, the procurement at the scheduled time and having the logistics chain in the region and the world are the specifications of a standardized procurement company. Khaybar has always been seeking membership in this international association since the acceptance of maritime logistics responsibilities. For this purpose, Khaybar should 

adapt all its equipment codes to the standard codes of the IMPA standard book. By this way, in the last three years, all of the equipment codes of Khaybar were converted to standardized IMPA codes. In addition, the company’s financial and commercial system was coded according to IMPA, too.Finally, in the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) era and after the certainty of IMPA about the standard and high quality of Khaybar’s requirements and supplies, this company was awarded the membership certificate at the IMPA, as the first supplying company in Iran. Anyway, now the name of the Islamic Republic of Iran and Khaybar Company as the only maritime supplier in the Middle East region are among the member countries of the IMPA, which is considered as another success story for the IRISL group. By joining to IMPA, ships will order their requirements based on the codes indicated in the IMPA book, and according to the relevant code, Khaybar will send the supplies from the central warehouse or its branch offices to the ships. The membership of companies on the IMPA makes them constantly update themselves, and marine producer of consumables and Supplies data-x-items will get expert and professional over time.

Fortunately, Iranian products have better quality than those of some countries. For example, ropes used to control a ship in the fleet of IRISL are mostly produced in Iran and fulfill international standards, or domestic marine colors are accordance with international certificates and they are produced under the auspices of the ICS1Of course, by considering the fact that the main activity of Khaybar Company is the procurement of the IRISL’s fleet, there is a greater sensitivity to the quality of equipment. Meanwhile e, at the first all the requirements should be examined by the committee of Ship Management Company before being sent to ships, and then the IMPA code is registered and sent to the ship. As Khaybar Company buys a large amount of supplies, it can play a significant role in producing standard and qualitative domestic products.

Safety equipment should have certain standards. Therefore, it has been tried to gradually increase the quality of these products inside the country, so that the necessary safety equipment for ships is already provided inside the country, which, in terms of quality and price, is more suitable than the external exemplar. Khaybar is currently able to supply 95% of the ships’ supplies. We have also been self-sufficient in providing 2,500 data-x-items of goods. This company has a very good relationship with knowledge enterprises. Of course, some ships do not come to ports of Iran, so they have to supply their needs from foreign ports.

The list of all needed requirements of the IRISL Fleet has been delivered to ships as a compact disk (CD) which named IRISL IMPA, in order to declare their needs more quickly. In order to increase the standard of the required supplies of the IRISL fleet, we provide the requirements of the ships in a package and in full compliance with the standard of working culture of the ships.

At present, about 6 companies are active in production of components which are currently the basis of some parts on Iranian ship. For example, all pumps and warehouse doors are produced domestically. The production of the parts should be affordable for the buyer and the producer. Of course, if domestic production is up to 10% more expensive than the external one, by considering the Resistive Economy issue and support of domestic production, Khaybar will buy the domestic product. Khaybar supports the plan of 

producing Nano-colors for the development of marine knowledge based industries. By achieving the result of this project, the color production formula will be changed in the world.

Of course, it should be mentioned that IRISL is an economic firm and, by considering the recession, it must control its costs.

One of the main goals of the Khaybar for becoming a member of in IMPA is providing services for ships enter the ports of Iran and being active in the international market. Now, ships which arrive to the ports of Iran for supplying their requirements use IMPA web site, in which the name of Khaybar is indicated as the only supplier of standard marine requirements in the region. One of the most unique features f Khaybar Company in the whole world is that the ship can provide all its requirements, including color, oil, essential requirements, chemicals and electronic parts during the time of stopping. However, even the largest companies in the world operate in just one sector.

In the post-JCPOA period, our first goal was to comply with international standards that we achieved it by joining IMPA. We hope to expand our activities by re-entering the foreign vessels to the ports of our country. Fortunately, with the arrival of Total Oil Company, the entrance way of other oil companies in the world has been opened to Iran, so the volume of activities and needs will increase. According to the support of the CEO of IRISL from Khaybar, we hope to become one of the world’s leading international companies in order to achieve the goals of the holding company.
