The Tbilisi Dry Port, the first modern railway container terminal in the region, has opened in the capital of Georgia. This infrastructure solution is being implemented in three stages, the first phase has already been completed with investments of $21 million. The current throughput capacity of the terminal is up to 100 thousand containers per year, and after the completion of all stages, it will increase to 200 thousand.
Georgian Prime Minister Irakli Kobakhidze noted the strategic importance of the facility for the country and the region. The new terminal will become an important logistics hub on the route between China, Central Asia and Europe, serving as both a national hub and a regional depot.
The Tbilisi Dry Port has a favorable location – close to the borders of Armenia and Azerbaijan, as well as direct access to international highways and the railway network. The project is being implemented in partnership between Abu Dhabi Ports Group (UAE), Wilhelmsen Port Services (Norway) and the Georgian company Inveco LLC.
