BAKU, Azerbaijan, July 4. Uzbekistan Rail
Container (Uztemiryulkonteyner) has expanded its international
logistics network by opening an official representative office in
Georgia, a move expected to strengthen freight transport between
Central Asia and Europe and support the development of the Middle
Corridor.
This was reflected in the statement by the Uzbekistan
Railways.
The new office is intended to enhance Uztemiryulkonteyner’s
presence in the South Caucasus, improve direct engagement with
customers and business partners, and increase cargo volumes
transported along international transport corridors, including the
Trans-Caspian International Transport Route, also known as the
Middle Corridor.
According to the company, the Georgian representative office
will enable more efficient use of the country’s port and logistics
infrastructure while supporting the development of new multimodal
transport routes. The expansion is also expected to improve the
speed and quality of logistics services offered to clients by
providing closer operational support in one of the region’s key
transit hubs.
“The opening of our representative office in Georgia marks
another important step in expanding Uztemiryulkonteyner’s
international network. This presence will strengthen cooperation
with regional partners, improve logistics efficiency, and create
new opportunities for increasing cargo flows between Central Asia
and Europe through the Middle Corridor,” the company said in its
statement.
Georgia plays a strategic role in connecting Central Asia with
European markets through its Black Sea ports and transport
infrastructure. Growing demand for alternative trade routes has
increased the importance of the Middle Corridor, which links China
and Central Asia with Europe via the Caspian Sea, the South
Caucasus, and Türkiye.
The company noted that the initiative forms part of its broader
strategy to strengthen its position in the international logistics
market and further develop Uzbekistan’s transit potential. By
expanding its overseas presence, Uztemiryulkonteyner aims to
facilitate cross-border freight operations, deepen regional
cooperation, and contribute to the efficient movement of goods
along Eurasian transport corridors.
