Bandar-e Shirinu (Persian: بندر شیرینو) is a city in Siraf District of Kangan County, Bushehr province, Iran, serving as the administrative center for Shirinu Rural District. It is located near the Persian Gulf and is surrounded by the Zagros Mountains to the north. The city is part of the South Pars gas field area, featuring significant oil and gas industries around it.

With the efforts of Ebrahim Bahmani and the approval of Vahidi, the Minister of Interior, the village of Shirinu became a city.

Etymology

The name "Shirinu" is associated with the ancient port of Thalath, recognized historically during the Safavid period, as well as being known for three golden palm trees that produced exceptionally sweet dates. This port has significant cultural and historical value.

Demographics

Population

At the time of the 2006 National Census, the population was 1,160 in 266 households, when it was the village of Shirinu in Taheri Rural District of the Central District. The following census in 2011 counted 3,441 people in 689 households. The 2016 census measured the population of the village as 9,976 people in 1,087 households. It was the most populous village in its rural district.

In 2017, the rural district was separated from the district in the formation of Siraf District, and Shirinu was transferred to Shirinu Rural District created in the new district. The village was elevated to the status of a city in August 2023.
