After passing the border of Khorgos between China and Kazakhstan, containers arrive by rail to the station of Aktau where they are loaded on a barge to Baku in Azerbaijani. From there containers are railed to APM Terminals Poti, Georgia, where they are being loaded on a feeder vessel to Constanta, Romania. Then the cargo is railed to various destinations across European countries, the company said in a press release.

“Aiming to create agile and creative solutions to our evolving customer's needs, this revamped service comes at the perfect time to help ease current logistics woes.  We have listened to our customers and developed a solution that provides them an alternative and eco-friendly intermodal connection between Asia and Europe. Over 90 per cent of the Middle Corridor rail service is electrified,” Maia Parlagashvili, global product manager for intercontinental rail at Maersk.

“The corridor has sufficient open capacity, allowing our customers to strengthen their supply chain resilience, by having alternative routes to ocean and air services,” added Parlagashvili.
