Azerbaijan, Baku, Oct. 8 / Trend , E.Ismayilov/
In mid-November 2009, under the TRACECA transport corridor, Baku will host a seminar on "Motorways of the Sea (MoS) for the Black Sea and the Caspian Sea", said Akif Mustafayev, TRACECA National Secretary from Azerbaijan.
He said at present the construction of the main Baku-Tbilisi-Kars railway is underway and so the Black and Caspian Seas are now of great importance in functioning of the entire TRACECA transport corridor.
At present, the transport corridor is implementing three projects, including "Motorways of the Sea for the Black Sea and the Caspian Sea," "Logistics Centers for Western CIS and Caucasus" and " TRACECA Civil aviation safety and security".
The "Motorways of the Sea for the Black Sea and the Caspian Sea" project will develop trade and transport in the Europe - Black Sea region - the Caucasus - Central Asia region through improving interaction of networks and multi-modal transport in the Black and Caspian Seas. Egis BCEOM (France) is a consultant of the project. The project covers two years.
The project covers Azerbaijan, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Turkmenistan and Ukraine.
The specific objective of the project is to promote and support effective intermodal freight transport in line with the concept of "Motorways of the Sea", linking the neighboring countries of the Black and Caspian seas with the territory of the enlarged European Union.
