The international exhibition TransLogistica Uzbekistan 2023, which will be held from 2 to 4 November in Tashkent, is planned to present the potential of the Turkmenbashi international sea port, the Neutral Turkmenistan newspaper reports.
The information said that this annual forum helps improve logistics systems, develop transport infrastructure, attract investment and increase cargo traffic throughout Central Asia.
"Turkmenbashi International Port is capable of receiving ships throughout the year and carrying out loading and unloading operations around the clock."
The modern Caspian port, which has increased access to European countries and markets in the Middle East, became operational in 2018. The $1.5bn project was implemented by Gap Inşaat (Turkey).
The total capacity of the port, excluding oil products, is 17mn tonnes of various cargoes per year. There are four terminals on an area of more than 150 hectares: general cargo, containers, bulk cargo and car ferries.
Experts told Daryo that Turkmenistan, with its access to the Caspian Sea, seeks to maximise the potential of the region's international transport and transit corridors.
Ashgabat and Tashkent are discussing options for creating favourable conditions for cooperation, believing that the Turkmenbashi port could be used as part of the transnational route China-Kyrgyzstan-Uzbekistan-Turkmenistan-Azerbaijan-Georgia-Turkey-Europe.
