Caspian crossing freight via Türkiye (Turkey) hub. Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan and Kyrgyzstan to European destinations. Rail, sea and road options.
Trans-Caspian rail (Middle Corridor) — Almaty/Tashkent → Aktau → Caspian crossing → Baku → Tbilisi → Türkiye → Europe. The fastest route bypassing Russia.
Multimodal sea — Caspian ferry from Aktau or Turkmenbashi to Baku, onward by rail/road to Türkiye, then sea or land to Europe. Best for bulk cargo and project shipments.
Direct truck — Central Asia → Caucasus (Azerbaijan, Georgia) → Türkiye → Europe. Door-to-door FTL and groupage LTL. Flexible for time-sensitive or temperature-controlled cargo.
Customs clearance at one end of the route, export clearance at origin or import clearance at destination, can be added to your quote depending on the route. Clearance at the other end, duties and taxes are arranged by the buyer or seller with their customs broker. We coordinate with the broker and send the documents they need on time.
The Middle Corridor is a multimodal trade route connecting China and Central Asia to Europe via Kazakhstan, the Caspian Sea, Azerbaijan, Georgia and Türkiye — bypassing Russia. It has become the primary alternative since 2022 due to sanctions affecting the Northern Corridor through Russia.
Türkiye is the natural bottleneck of the Middle Corridor — every cargo crossing the Caspian and Caucasus reaches Europe through Turkish ports or land borders. We coordinate consolidation and onward EU forwarding through Türkiye, with customs documents sent to your broker and clearance arranged according to the agreed quote.
Rail freight from Almaty or Astana to Germany via Middle Corridor takes 14–22 days depending on Caspian ferry availability and customs at border crossings. Road freight takes 12–18 days. Sea-based multimodal is slower but cheaper.
