How To Maximize The Middle Corridor

The Middle Corridor, also known as the Trans-Caspian International Transport Route, is a multimodal land and sea transport corridor, helping products move from as far as China to Europe through Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, Azerbaijan, Türkiye, the Black Sea, and the Caspian Sea. The route consists of over 4,250 km (about 2640.83 mi) of rail lines and 500 km (about 310.69 mi) of seaway. With its total length 2,000km shorter than Russia’s Northern Corridor, the Middle Corridor offers a resolution to sanction-compliance issues, access to new markets, and new opportunities for business-to-business (B2B) and business-to-government (B2G) engagements in logistics, transportation, and infrastructure construction.
