The volume of cargo transshipment
through the Kuryk port has approached two million tonnes since the beginning of
2023. Over the year, the figure grew by 15 percent. More than 1.2 million
tonnes of cargo were transported to the seaport by rail. Around 600 ferries,
over 16,500 wagons, tens of thousands of trucks and other vehicles passed
through the port in ten months. Among the cargo transported are oil and
chemical products, metals, and consumer goods. The range of transit cargo
included equipment, electronics, textiles, chemical industry products, and
metal goods.
“To date, Kazakh products are
transported by conventional railcars. The prospect of enabling these railcars to
travel on the 1,520-millimeter gauge track to the final destination, the Black
Sea, provides an additional opportunity for promoting Kazakh exports. The same
gauge in Azerbaijan and Georgia allows transporting Kazakh exports directly to
open waters, specifically the Black Sea,” said Serik Akhmetov, general director
of the Kuryk port.
