Kazmor Transflot hails Azerbaijan as important player in transit routes

In a recent statement to Report, Beksultan Akhbeloglu, the chief specialist of Kazakhstan's national shipping company Kazmor Transflot, emphasized Azerbaijan's indispensable role in transit routes.

"The existence of a transit line would be impossible without Azerbaijan. We work in close cooperation," Akhbeloglu noted.

He highlighted Azerbaijan's substantial efforts and investments in modernizing infrastructure, improving container transit along the route, strengthening port infrastructure, constructing new cranes and railway lines, and increasing cargo turnover. These initiatives have positioned Azerbaijan as a critical player in the global trade network.

The chief specialist believes that the transit line from Kazakhstan, Georgia, and Türkiye has the potential to become the main route of the Silk Road. "Azerbaijan is located in a historically and geographically significant region, through which all global cargo has always passed," he added.

“We believe that with our joint efforts, we will get the maximum benefit from this route, and cargo will be transported uninterruptedly from China to Europe and back. We have expressed our concern about congestion during peak times. This happens both in Aktau and Alat ports. Therefore, Azerbaijan has alternative routes in this corridor. Therefore, containers from China can be sent through Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, or Turkmenistan, ultimately reaching the Baku port for onward rail transport to Georgia and final delivery to cargo recipients,” Akhbeloglu said.
