Kazakhstan
plans to boost its sea freight volumes. According to the Mangystau region’s
administration, two ferries are set to begin operating in the first half of
next year on the route Kuryk – Alat, Azerbaijan. By 2027, their number is expected to expand to six vessels. This
will also enhance the efficiency of the Trans-Caspian International Transport
Route. The
port of Aktau is a key hub along the corridor. The European Union has
allocated a 10-million-euro grant to extend two berths and purchase weather-resistant
cranes for cargo handling. The modernization will increase the
port’s capacity and enable it to service four full-size vessels at the same
time.
