Maersk announces new ocean-rail product in Central Asia

Maersk launches a new transport solution connecting the United States and other important producing countries in the Far East, Mediterranean and Europe with Central Asian markets.

The company’s new weekly product aims to enhance the efficiency of cargo transportation particularly for consumer, lifestyle, and tech products to the growing consumer markets in Central Asia, according to Maersk.

The Danish carrier said the Poti port in Georgia is the main connecting gateway to its global ocean network. From this port, cargo is seamlessly transported via rail to Baku in Azerbaijan. Subsequently, the journey continues from Baku across the Caspian Sea to Aktau. Finally, the cargo is delivered from there to its ultimate destinations in Central Asia such as Almaty, Astana, Tashkent via an efficient train network.

Moreover, Maersk has established last mile connections in Georgia, Azerbaijan, Uzbekistan, and Kazakhstan through a dedicated trucking pool.

“Besides our existing rail connection through China, there has been a rising demand among our customers in the Western hemisphere for a logistics solution in this corridor which is seamlessly connected to a global network at the European end,” commented Sedef Ayhan, Maersk’s managing director in East Mediterranean Area.
