Container Block Train Departs from Poti to Tashkent, Uzbekistan For the First Time

Another container block train departed from the Georgian port of Poti to the capital of Uzbekistan – Tashkent.

The railway operators on the Poti – Tashkent route are Georgia’s “GR Logistics and Terminals”, Azerbaijan’s “ADY Container”, as well as Turkmenistan’s “Transport and Logistics Center of Turkmenistan” (TULM) and Uzbekistan’s “Uzbek Railway Expedition.”

The transit block train through Azerbaijan consists of 58 40-foot long containers, loaded with aluminum-based industrial products manufactured in the EU and transported to Central Asia.

Containers will be sailed across the Caspian Sea from the port of Baku to the port of Turkmenbashi by the feeder vessel operated by ADY Container, following their direction by railways within Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan.

This project involves transportation of 200 containers in total.
