Azerbaijan Railways (ADY) has completed the reconstruction of the 21-km-long Dubendi-Zira-Gurgan-Zira Port railway line and built a new 9-km section between Gurgan and Zira Port. This allowed for the first time to launch rail transportation of transit cargo from Zira Port.
At the initial stage, 13,000 tons of cargo have already been transported, including sulfur from Central Asia bound for Europe. In the future, the volume of transportation from Zira Port will reach 60,000 tons per month, with an expansion of the range of cargo, including urea. This will significantly accelerate cargo flows through the Middle Corridor and increase its efficiency.
ADY continues to develop international transit routes, increasing their competitiveness. Azerbaijan plays a key role in expanding the Middle Corridor, which connects the East and the West, and is actively shaping its alternative routes.
