The $30 million project, launched by a domestic investor two years ago, will have an annual capacity of 120,000 containers.
Located in the Poti port, which features over 20 berthing cranes and 17 kilometers of railway tracks, the terminal strengthens Kazakhstan’s role as Central Asia’s main transit hub.
The transport corridor runs from Kazakhstan through the Caspian Sea, Azerbaijan, Georgia, and the Black Sea, facilitating global cargo movement. In the opposite direction, cargo will go through Kazakhstan to the countries of Central Asia.
A second multimodal terminal will be built in Azerbaijan later this year.
