ASTANA, Kazakhstan, November 18. The amount of cargo making its way through Kazakhstan's seaports saw a rise in the first 10 months of this year, when stacked against the same stretch of time last year, Trend reports.
Compared to the same period last year, transportation volumes have increased by 3 percent, including an 18 percent rise in transit cargo.
The handling of cargo road transport through the Kuryk ferry complex has seen a whopping 22 percent uptick, while container shipments through the Aktau port have skyrocketed by a staggering 84 percent, with around 27,000 containers making their way through the East-West transit corridor.
This year, the "Sarzha" terminal at the Kuryk port handled around 55,000 tons of cargo (non-ferrous metals, ammonium phosphate, barley) destined for Türkiye and Iran. Meanwhile, 153 units of oversized cargo were transported via the "Ersay" terminal at Kuryk, in transit through Kazakhstan from Azerbaijan to Uzbekistan.
In October, a new grain terminal with a capacity of 1 million
tons per year was launched at the Kuryk port. As part of the
President of Kazakhstan's directives, efforts are underway to
establish a comprehensive logistics cluster at Kuryk port.
The Port of Kuryk is a port located on the eastern coast of the
Caspian Sea, situated in the Alexanderbay Gulf near Cape Saryja, 17
km west of the village of Kuryk in the Karakiya District of the
Mangystau Region, Kazakhstan. The designed capacity of the terminal
is 2.6 million tons per year for oil and oil products and 300,000
tons per year for liquefied petroleum gas.
