The results of one of our study clearly show:
The potential:
- Interest in alternative routes is growing steadily.
- The infrastructure along the route is functional and is being continuously expanded.
- Stakeholders are working together to overcome existing bottlenecks.
The challenges:
Taking the port of Aktau as an example: currently designed for general and bulk cargo, it needs to be modernized for container handling.
Current developments:
- Kazakhstan is proactively investing in infrastructure.
- Ambitious goal: The port of Aktau is to become a container hub by 2030.
- And best of all: everyone involved is pulling together to make this vision a reality!
