ASTANA, Kazakhstan, July 31. Kazakhstan’s
national railway company, JSC NC KTZ, and Türkiye’s Mersin
International Port (operated by PSA International Group) are set to
deepen cooperation in developing the Trans-Caspian International
Transport Route (TITR), Trend reports via the KTZ press service.
Chairman of the Board of JSC NC KTZ Talgat Aldybergenov held
talks with Mersin Port’s General Director Ajay Kumar Singh in
Ankara during the official visit of President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev
to Türkiye, when the sides discussed prospects for enhancing
multimodal logistics solutions between Asia and Europe, focusing on
streamlining cargo flows and improving operational capacities along
the route.
Aldybergenov underscored the pivotal significance of Mersin as a
critical nexus for transshipment within the corridor and
highlighted the preparedness of Kazakh stakeholders to guarantee
consistent cargo throughput.
The meeting also addressed the port’s preparedness to handle
increasing freight volumes and the expansion of its infrastructure
for high-capacity logistics operations.
To improve the efficiency of the logistics chain, the Kazakh
side proposed leveraging the Kazakhstan–PSA joint venture, KPMC,
which is already active in facilitating multimodal transportation
on routes such as China–Türkiye (via Izmit and Köseköy),
Xi’an–Istanbul, and Qingdao–Khorgos–Sergeli.
