Map of the Middle Corridor:
The global trade landscape is undergoing a seismic shift. With the Northern Corridor (via Russia) hindered by geopolitical tensions and the Suez Canal challenged by instability in the Red Sea, the Middle Corridor—officially known as the Trans-Caspian International Transport Route (TITR)—has emerged as a critical new artery connecting the Far East with Europe.
Rather than merely being an alternative, the Middle Corridor is now a strategic necessity for companies seeking supply chain diversification, efficiency, and resilience.
The Middle Corridor and KURYK: A Perfect Fit
Stretching from China through Kazakhstan, across the Caspian Sea to Azerbaijan, Georgia, and Turkey, the Middle Corridor combines rail, sea, and road transport. It offers shorter transit times and reduced fuel costs compared to the traditional northern route.
At the heart of this route lies KURYK Port, currently being developed by MARECo into a world-class, agile, and fully rail-connected multipurpose terminal.
