Nearly 1.5 million tonnes of
cargo have been transshipped through the Kuryk port since the beginning of the
year, which is a 15 percent increase compared to the 2022 figure. According to Kazakhstan
Temir Zholy (KTZ), domestic oil and petroleum products, metals,
fertilizers and chemical products are transported through the port. Besides,
the cargo transit from China and Central Asian countries to Azerbaijan,
Georgia, Turkey and further to the countries of Eastern Europe and back is on
the rise. It should be reminded that there are plans to increase the volume of
cargo transshipment at the sea harbor. In this regard, the seabed of the port
water area will be dredged. The port also plans to build and purchase Kazakh
ferries to open new routes, boost export potential and increase the country’s
transport security.
