Construction of container hub to start in Aktau port

Kazakhstan is becoming the most crucial land corridor between Asia and Europe due to the country’s location in the heart of Eurasia. Therefore, developing the transport and logistics sector is a strategic priority for Kazakhstan. This was outlined in President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev’s state-of-the-nation address. One of the major projects in this direction is now underway in the Mangystau region. Thus, a container hub will be established at the Aktau seaport, enabling to create an infrastructure to provide a range of services for the processing and shipment of container cargo along various routes, including the North-South corridors and the Trans-Caspian International Transport Route. It will also allow to build a container fleet for the Caspian and Central Asian countries. Notably, the first phase is set to be completed in 2025.
