BAKU, Azerbaijan, June 7. APM Terminals, the company, operating Georgia’s Poti Port, is actively cooperating with Azerbaijani partners in order to improve communications across the region, Iain Rawlinson, Chief Commercial Officer at APM Terminals Poti, told Trend.
“We are in close, great cooperation with the Port of Baku. We also work with Azerbaijan Railways (ADY) on the railway perspectives to make sure that we are fully aligned on the Middle Corridor, and to make sure that cargo is moving extremely smoothly between the two countries, so the customers’ experience of using the Middle Corridor will only be positive,” he said.
According to the chief commercial officer, Azerbaijan is one of the largest trading partners of Georgia, and major manufacturers in Azerbaijan have a need for connectivity through Georgia, and APM Terminals is in close cooperation with a few quite major companies on an ongoing basis.
“We are working with a number of Azerbaijani companies. Because, at the end of the day, particularly on the Middle Corridor, Georgia’s success, and Poti’s success, are closely aligned with Azerbaijan’s success, both as part of the transit corridor, and also to improve Azerbaijan’s connectivity with the rest of the world,” Rawlinson added.
APM Terminals is a port operating company headquartered in the Netherlands and is a unit of the Transport and Logistics division of the Danish Maersk shipping company.
