From the beginning of 2026, a total of 31,000 tons of Kazakh cargo has been transported via the Batumi Sea Port, further highlighting the growing importance of the Trans-Caspian International Transport Route (Middle Corridor).
According to sea-news.az that these shipments have been directed toward export destinations including Morocco, Türkiye, and other countries. The steady flow of cargo demonstrates the strengthening logistics connectivity between Kazakhstan, Georgia, and global markets.
Batumi Port, located on the Black Sea, is one of the region’s oldest ports and serves as a key transit hub. Established in 1878, its infrastructure includes 11 berths, an oil terminal, as well as general and container terminals, with a total annual handling capacity of 21 million tons.
Kazakhstan’s “KazMunayGas” and “KazTransOil” manage their Georgian assets through the Batumi Oil Terminal, reflecting an integrated logistics system across the Caspian–Black Sea corridor.
Overall, these developments confirm that the Middle Corridor is steadily reinforcing its role not only as a regional route but also as a stable alternative in Europe–Asia trade flows.
