General Cargo Terminal

Capacity

800 tons

Cargo Terminal had been designed for the transportation of dry and containerized liquid cargos in the Caspian Sea. Cargo will be unloaded on the east side of the jetty area by 4 port cranes. Each container is then identified, listed, documented and transported to the far north end of the premises to be stored. Cargo terminal is currently operative and the transportation of the cargos is mostly managed through the countryside highways. Our future plan to construct a 13 km railway will increase the current transportation capacity up to 1 million tons a year. The railway will be linked to the premises and will significantly accelerate the cargo delivery.
