Maritime transit plays an important role in global trade, and Iran has a high capacity to develop this area due to its strategic location. This study, using a descriptive-analytical method, has examined the indicators affecting maritime transit in the Eastern axis. The results show that all indicators are in a favorable state, and the indicators of "transit cost", "speed of goods transit process", "port network", "quay length", "multimodal connectivity", "goods attraction marketing", "infrastructure factors", "political and international factors", "inflation rate", and "warehouse area" with the highest scores were ranked first to tenth as the most important indicators in the maritime transit process. Also, transit cost was identified as the main challenge. To improve this area, emphasis has been placed on reducing costs, upgrading infrastructure, increasing speed, and strengthening security. The research results show that indicators related to resource and waste management have a lesser impact on the transit process, but still need to be improved. In this regard, investment in modern transportation technologies and port development can have a significant impact on increasing productivity. In addition, international cooperation and inter-sectoral interactions can facilitate the transit process and increase Iran's competitiveness in global markets.
