According to the information, the service portfolio also includes multimodal transport solutions, customs clearance, cargo consolidation, route optimization, and comprehensive supply chain management.
"With significant experience in organizing intermodal transport, Rhenus integrates rail, road, and sea transport into a single logistics system. This approach ensures reliable transportation and optimal delivery times along the Trans-Caspian Corridor.
Customers gain access to flexible logistics solutions, transparent cargo tracking, and additional services that help enhance the resilience of supply chains between Europe and Asia," the company reports.

The opening of an office in Georgia marks an important step in strengthening our presence along this route. Today, the company is represented in all key countries of the region, which allows us to provide customers with integrated transport and logistics solutions and effectively connect the markets of Europe, the South Caucasus, and Central Asia."

The Middle Corridor is a transport and trade route passing through a number of countries in the region and connecting Asia with Europe. It serves as an alternative to the traditional Northern and Southern Corridors
The route begins in China and passes through the countries of Central Asia. It then crosses the Caspian Sea, Azerbaijan, Georgia, and Türkiye, before reaching Europe. The Middle Corridor is a land route that bypasses the longer sea routes, connecting the eastern regions of Asia, including China, with Europe.
