At the invitation of the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE), Abay Turikpenbayev, Chairman of the Board of JSC “Sea port of Aktau”, made a presentation at the 30th Economic and Environmental Forum.
Highlighting the topic of developing efficient and environmentally integrated sustainable transport networks, the head of the port of Aktau proposed the establishment of new container lines on the Black Sea, which will expand the potential of the Middle Corridor route and ensure an increase in freight traffic in the East-West direction and back (China – EU countries) at least 133,000 TEUs in the short term.
This indicator can be achieved both by redistributing cargo from less environmentally friendly road transport to rail-sea transport, and by redirecting cargo from other traditional routes.
The success of the event largely depends on the support from the countries of the European Union at the first stage of the formation of regular lines.
