Similar to last year’s Spring Social event, our presentations are always hosted by our members and are aimed to stimulate exchange of practical info and know-how. Below is brief recap of the conversations that took place, collectively contributing to our knowledge hub.
Transit through CIS/Middle Corridor as alternative route:
The first morning kicked off with a presentation from Mr. Kemal Karaoglu from our member At-abraý/ Turkmenline. Given the impact of the current Ukraine – Russia conflict and EU sanctions against Russia, many companies pulled out from using the rail route connection via Russia and turned their attention to the so called “middle corridor”, connecting China and Turkey via the CIS region. In his presentation, Mr. Karaoglu gave a detailed overview of the current situation in the Black Sea and Caucasus region and discussed the feasibility and challenges along the Middle Corridor.
Transloading and transit via the Caspian Sea is one of the key routes for cargo to be delivered into the CIS region, however the operations are usually plagued with long waiting times and delays. Mostly recently though, New Silk Road Network’s member At-Abray / Turkmenline, managed a very quick and smooth turnaround, where they delivered some raw material for oil drilling from China to the Ashgabat region.
New Silk Road Network’s founding member Alexander Global Logistics (AGL) received a challenging task. The mission was to ship two steel coils measuring 14.15 x 14.15 x 18.11 meters and weighing 27.7 tons each from Hamburg, Germany to Shanghai, China per breakbulk vessel.
