BAKU, Azerbaijan, September 18. The Caspian Sea and the Middle Corridor play a key role as important transportation arteries connecting continents and promoting international trade, the managing director of MSC Georgia, Alkan Alicik, said during the session "International Transport Corridors in the Black and Caspian Sea Region" at the Black and Caspian Freight Forum 2024, Trend reports.

“The Black Sea, Caspian Sea, and the Middle Corridor play a key role as important transportation arteries connecting continents and facilitating international trade. This region has always had a significant impact on the global economy. MSC, as the market leader in container transportation in this region, has in recent years become one of the leading players in a dynamically developing market. We are actively developing innovative solutions and strengthening strategic partnerships in this region,” he emphasized.

To note, the Middle Corridor links the container rail freight transportation networks of China and European Union countries via Central Asia, the Caucasus, Türkiye, and Eastern Europe.

Multilateral multimodal transportation infrastructure connects ferry terminals of the Caspian and Black Seas with railway systems of China, Kazakhstan, Azerbaijan, Georgia, Türkiye, Ukraine, and Poland.

The Middle Corridor facilitates increased cargo traffic from China to Türkiye, as well as to European countries and in the opposite direction.

The route train along this corridor delivers cargo from China to Europe in an average of 20–25 days, and this is one of the main advantages of this transport corridor.
