New seaport to be built in Kazakhstan

A new seaport will be built in Kazakhstan. The harbor is planned for the western part of the country, according to the Mayor’s Office of the Mangystau region. A Chinese group of companies intends to invest $300 million in this strategic project, and negotiations are currently underway. Experts estimate that the project will contribute to the formation of a new international transport corridor China - Kazakhstan - Aktau - Baku - Poti - Europe. Its implementation is expected to reduce cargo delivery times by up to 15 days and cut transport costs by a quarter. Notably, the new seaport will be constructed as part of the directives from the Head of State aimed at developing transport infrastructure and strengthening the country’s transit potential.
