Ukraine will play a decisive role in the Trans-Caspian route if it launches ferries to Georgia

After the restoration of the ferry connection with Georgia, Ukraine will play a decisive role in the development of the Trans-Caspian route.

This was stated by the Ambassador of Ukraine to Azerbaijan Yuriy Gusev during the Black-Caspian Freight Forum 2024, Rail.insider reports.

According to him, the restoration of the ferry connection with Georgia will give Ukraine the opportunity to become a vital part of the global Middle Corridor and transit route.

The Middle Corridor (Trans-Caspian International Transport Route, TMTM) provides container rail freight transportation between China and the EU via Central Asia, the Caucasus, Turkey and Eastern Europe.
