Sadra Island

Sadra Island is a small industrial island east of the city of Bushehr, home to Bushehr's shipbuilding and offshore platform fabrication industries. Covering 450 hectares, the island is surrounded by shallow waters that become almost dry at low tide. The island is reached by an embankment road built across the shallows, with a bridge over the waterway. This road connects to the Bushehr Special Economic Zone. Sadra Island lies in the Bushehr Free Zone alongside the islands of Abbasak, Negin and Sadaf.

The Iran Marine Industrial Company (SADRA), based on this island, was founded in 1348 SH (1969) with Iranian and American investment under the name Shahpour, and was declared a national company in 1357 SH (1978). The company is active in several fields, including shipbuilding, petrochemicals, and infrastructure and port projects. Sadra is also known as one of the largest companies in Iran's shipbuilding industry and plays an important role in building and repairing ships and other marine structures.

Thanks to its strategic location near the Bushehr Special Economic Zone, the island has become an industrial and commercial hub of the region. With its advanced infrastructure and access to open waters, Sadra Island has become a centre for maritime and economic activity and plays an important part in developing the country's shipbuilding and maritime transport industries. By providing industrial and economic facilities, the island holds a special place in the economic development of Bushehr Province and even of the country as a whole.
