The maritime trade route through the Caspian and Black Seas is considered a reliable alternative to the northern route through Russia, or the southern route via the Suez Canal. However, the existing sea ports currently act as bottlenecks for cargo traversing the route.
Expanding cargo capacity
The construction of a new deep water port in Anaklia, Georgia, expanding cargo capacity by 600.000 containers, along with the expansion of the Kuryk port in Kazakhstan, will effectively address these challenges. We are involved in both projects, undertaking capital dredging work in Kazakhstan and building a breakwater, access channels and turning points in Georgia.
Stefan Muntoiu, Business Development Manager at Jan De Nul Group: “These projects will have a big economic impact on the region. The Georgia and Kazakhstan governments made firm decisions. We are proud to take part in the development of this important trade route.“
