An island in the Persian Gulf 55 km off the coast of Bushehr, Iran. In Japan, it is often called Kharg Island. It is 8 km north to south and 4 km east to west. In the Middle Ages, it was known as a port of call for pearl fishing and for maritime traffic from Basra at the mouth of the Tigris and Euphrates rivers to Oman and India. In the late 18th century, it became a trading base for the Dutch and French East India Companies, but was occupied by Britain from 1838 to 1842 and in 1856. Since the 1950s after World War II, oil exports have grown rapidly, and it has developed into an Iranian crude oil shipping port where large tankers can dock in the shallow waters of the Persian Gulf.

イランのブーシェフルの沖合55kmにあるペルシア湾内の島。日本ではカーグ島とよばれることが多い。南北8km,東西4km。中世には真珠採取,ティグリス・ユーフラテス河口のバスラからオマーン,インドに至る海上交通の寄港地として知られた。18世紀後半,オランダ,フランスの東インド会社の貿易基地となったが,1838‐42年,56年にイギリスが占領。第2次世界大戦後の1950年代以降,石油輸出が急速に伸びたことにより,水深の浅いペルシア湾にあって大型タンカーが接岸できるイラン原油積出港として発展した。
