Shahbandar (English spelling)
It mainly refers to the person in charge of managing foreign merchant ships and foreign merchants residing in international trade ports in Southeast Asia, such as the Malacca Sultanate. In Persian, it means "King of the Port." Its origins are thought to date back to the 7th century, when Persian merchants began to advance into maritime trade in Southeast Asia. Usually, one person was placed in each port, and appointed as the elder of the foreign merchants residing there, to entertain and manage foreign merchant ships, collect taxes, and control the foreign merchants residing there, on behalf of the local authority.
