The Key Role of Georgia in Transit

Georgia is the critical gateway for container flows moving westward from Azerbaijan.

  • Baku–Tbilisi–Kars railway directly connects the Caspian to Turkey and Europe.

  • Ports of Poti and Batumi provide access to the Black Sea, enabling routes to the Balkans, Eastern Europe, and Ukraine.

  • Road corridors through the Caucasus support both FTL (Full Truck Load) and LTL (Groupage) container trucking into Turkey and beyond.

This route is currently one of the most stable and efficient alternatives to traditional sea or northern corridors, making it highly attractive for shippers.
