(MENAFN- Trend News Agency) BAKU, Azerbaijan, March 12 . Albayrak Holding
considers Azerbaijan a key fulcrum for the Middle Corridor and
strategically important for collaboration with partners, Alport
Baku's Manager Vahdettin Keles said during an event dedicated to
presenting the activities of Albayrak Holding, Trend reports.
"With the opening of the Zangezur Corridor, the company hopes to
increase its capabilities by including this route in its logistical
network," he emphasized.
Keles stated that Albayrak Group's Baku harbor has a capacity of
150,000 TEUs per year, two closed warehouses, and a dock length of
2,250 meters.
"The port has a 15 million-ton annual capacity and serves
terminals for container, passenger, Ro-Ro, general, bulk, and
project cargoes. The fertilizer handling terminal and container
terminal at Baku port contribute significantly to the logistics
activities of the Middle Corridor of the Silk Road," he added.
To note, in July 2022, Albayrak acquired the operating rights to
develop the Port of Baku, which is located on the crossroads of the
modern Silk Road and major transportation corridors and is the
largest intermodal logistics hub at the heart of Eurasia. Following
the agreement, Albayrak Group took over the Ro-Ro container and
fertilizer terminal operations.
Along with Alport's broad experience in logistics around the
world, the increase in the volume of cargo transported from Central
Asian countries to Europe and Türkiye will be promoted, and modern
logistics solutions will provide operational work and add value to
the Azerbaijan economy by increasing the flow of cargo to the
port.
