The Iranian vessel can carry 2,500 standard shipping containers. It was welcomed by officials from local companies Eurogate and PWL.
The docking marked the reopening of the European Container Line between Iran and Europe, which was suspended in 2010 due to sanctions imposed by the U.S. and their allies.
The ship will berth at Port of Antwerp, Belgium on its way back to the Persian Gulf, Saidi said.
The official had earlier said that the ship was carrying petrochemical products.
He also revealed that Iran is planning to launch shipping lines from the Persian Gulf to Eastern Asia and Latin America, adding Iran is taking measures to have ships journey to North America as well.
