Batumi Sea Port LLC and Aktau North Sea Terminal LLC signed a cooperation agreement at Batumi Sea Port in Georgia, according to the company's release.
The agreement focuses on developing transit transportation between Georgia and Kazakhstan through the Trans‑Caspian International Transport Route (TITR), leveraging the existing port infrastructure of both entities.
Key areas of cooperation include the exchange of technical and operational experience, diversification and development of cargo flows, coordination of marketing activities with shipping companies, and the organisation of personnel retraining programmes and working visits.
The parties will also jointly monitor regional logistics markets and implement enhanced cargo‑handling and logistics solutions.
The agreement takes effect immediately and remains valid indefinitely, reflecting a shared interest in sustainable long‑term partnership.
This initiative builds on previous cooperation within the Trans‑Caspian International Transport Route framework. In October 2023, Kazakhstan Temir Zholy, Azerbaijan’s ADY, and Georgia’s GR signed agreements with the ports of Aktau, Baku, and Batumi to establish a route coordination committee and develop unified transit documentation.
