A test sea voyage in the new direction Turkey - the Caspian Sea has been carried out in transit through Azerbaijan, Trend reports citing P&O MARITIME LOGISTICS.
Reportedly, the new line will connect Turkey with the countries of Central Asia, and provide regular sea container traffic between Turkey and Azerbaijan, as well as Central Asia.
