ASTANA, Kazakhstan, September 16. Rhenus SE &
Co. KG plans to sign a memorandum with Kazakhstan to advance the
development of the Trans-Caspian International transport Route -
the Middle Corridor, said Tobias Bartz, CEO of Rhenus SE & Co. KG,
Trend reports.
“We're partnering with countries along the Trans-Caspian route
to offer sustainable and cost-effective logistics solutions for our
clients, both in the region and beyond. These investments will
connect Kazakhstan via the Caspian Sea to the South Caucasus,
Turkey, and Europe's terminal network, enhancing supply chain
security and backing the EU's transport diversification strategy,”
Bartz said at the Kazakhstan-Germany Business Forum in Astana.
He noted that the memorandum will be signed with Aktau Port and
Kazakhstan Temir Zholy (Kazakhstan Railways) and will outline plans
to build a multimodal container terminal by 2030. Depending on
progress, the project might even be completed ahead of
schedule.
The Middle Corridor connects container rail freight networks
between China and the European Union via Central Asia, the
Caucasus, Türkiye, and Eastern Europe.
The route boosts cargo traffic between China and Türkiye, as
well as between European countries, and vice versa. A train along
this corridor can deliver cargo from China to Europe in an average
of 20–25 days, a key advantage of this transport route.
