Belgorod-Dnistrovsky Sea Port signed a memorandum of cooperation with Batumi International Container Terminals LLC (BICT), which manages container, ferry and general terminals in the port of Batumi (Georgia). This is the second such document of the Ukrainian enterprise within the framework of the development of the Trans-Caspian International Transport Route (TITR, or “Middle Corridor”), said Oksana Kiktenko, Director of the SE.
The agreement provides for the launch of a new ferry route between Ukraine and Georgia, as well as the construction of a road and rail ferry complex in the Belgorod-Dnistrovsky port. The project is being developed taking into account the specifics of the cargo flows of the “Middle Corridor” and is aimed at expanding the capabilities for their handling.
According to Kiktenko, the main goal of the cooperation is to attract transit cargo and strengthen the role of the Belgorod-Dnistrovsky port, which plans to become the largest hub of the TITR on the European side of the route.
