There will be a loading terminal, a bulk cargo terminal, as well as a shipyard in the complex. The total area of the multifunctional port will be more than 1.400 million square meters.
According to the plan, numerous coastal infrastructure facilities have been built here since 2014, which include roads with overpasses with a total length of 3,915 meters and railways with a total length of 29,890 meters.
The project worth $1.5 billion is being implemented by Turkey’s Gap Insaat company. The annual capacity of the port will be 17-18 million tons.
