German logistics giant Rhenus Group is set to roll out a network of up to 14 terminals along the Middle Corridor, also known as the Trans-Caspian International Transport Route (TITR), with a new trimodal container terminal in Aktau.
For European businesses, the expansion could provide more capacity and more reliable transport links with Asian suppliers and markets. The European Commission said in September that it aimed to mobilise up to €12 billion in public and private investment in the Middle Corridor, with the goal of tripling trade flows and cutting freight transit times by 2030.
