A shipbuilding plant may be established in
Kazakhstan. The project is currently in the development stage, according to the
country’s Ministry of Transport. The shipyard is planned for construction on
the Caspian Sea coast, where the implementation of a container hub project at
the Aktau port is also underway. It is expected to have a capacity of 300,000
twenty-foot containers. A joint venture with China will be created to implement
the project, with investment coming from a Chinese company. Additionally, the Sarzha
multifunctional marine terminal will be built at the Kuryk port, with
construction already in progress. The project will be financed by an Arab
company. The Sarzha terminal will have an annual capacity of nearly 9.5 million
tonnes and will feature grain, oil, and general cargo terminals. The project is
scheduled for completion by 2027.
