In Baku, within the framework of the 29th UN Conference on Climate Change, an Agreement was signed on the implementation of a project to create an intermodal cargo terminal in the seaport of Alyat. KTZ continues to develop its terminal network abroad in accordance with the instructions of the Head of State to strengthen the integration of Kazakhstan into existing international transport routes.
The document was signed by the management of SK-AIH Investment Fund Ltd (Samruk-Kazyna JSC, Azerbaijan Investment Holding), Kazakhstan Temir Zholy JSC, Baku International Sea Trade Port CJSC (Azerbaijan), Xi’an Free Trade Port Construction and Operation Co., Ltd (PRC).
The initiative became possible due to the provision by the Azerbaijani side of a land plot, operating berths and terminal capacities of the port of Alyat. The project will serve to increase the volume of container trains on the China-Europe-China route via TITR, reduce delivery times, reduce the cost of transportation and transshipment time.
Reference: The new terminal will include a universal cargo area, a covered warehouse complex with an area of 5,000 sq. m. and a container area with a capacity of more than 1,000 containers.
