Boosting cargo turnover: Dredging works underway at Kuryk port

Dredging operations have begun at the Kuryk port on the Caspian Sea in Kazakhstan. The depth is set to be increased to five meters, with the work scheduled for completion in June 2026. It is expected that the implementation of this strategic project, launched as part of the development of the Trans-Caspian route, will help increase cargo turnover and attract transit flows. Notably, two major projects are being implemented to develop the Caspian hub in the country - the construction of a container hub at the Aktau port and the Sarzha multifunctional marine terminal at the Kuryk port. Both projects are included in the Aktau Seaport special economic zone.
