During the visit, arranged as part of the practical part of the training course titled “Maritime transport and port logistics”, the participants got acquainted with the operating principle of the terminals in the port of Baku.Besides, the participants were told of the General Cargo Terminal and rules how to handle breakbulk, containerized and bulk cargoes at this terminal. They were also informed about the Ro-Ro terminal and the process of loading and unloading self-propelled vehicles onto the Ro-Ro ships and the ferry terminal and the process of loading and unloading railway wagons into the ferry vessels at this terminal.
