From Mr. Sitnikov I received that the ship depict on this stamp is one of the Iran Dastghayb class and I agree. Stanley Gibbons and Watercraft Philately give her as a tanker, but she is a bulk ship.
All the ships of this class start with the first name IRAN.
Iran Shipping Lines built from 1984 a class of bulkers by Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Eng. Co. Ltd. in Okpo, South Korea from which one is depict on the stamp, which ship is depict I don’t known, only that she was one from this class.
The first was built under yard 1008 as the IRAN DASTGHAYB.
