Logistics company Uni-Laman Group has partnered with a warehouse complex at the Khorgos dry port, a key hub on the border between China and Kazakhstan. This allows the company to launch a new Middle Corridor transportation system, covering the route China – Khorgos – Azerbaijan – Georgia (with a ferry crossing across the Caspian Sea to Poti/Batumi) – Bulgaria (Burgas port), followed by truck delivery to Ukraine, Poland, Romania, and Hungary.
The main advantage of the new logistics model is the consolidation of LCL cargo into FCL containers directly at the border under the joint control of China and Kazakhstan. The Khorgos warehouse can handle both group and individual shipments, expanding customer options and accelerating the supply chain.
According to the company’s CEO, Gennady Sorochinsky, the route through Kazakhstan, the Caspian Sea, Georgia, and Bulgaria ensures predictability and reduces the delivery time of goods from China to Ukraine and the EU to 20–30 days, while the port of Burgas is located far from combat zones. Uni-Laman Group has already begun accepting the first cargoes under the new scheme.
