ASTANA, Kazakhstan, February 25. Kazakhstan
plans to complete the modernization of infrastructure at ports of
Aktau and Kuryk in 2026, Trend reports via the Ministry of Transport of
Kazakhstan.
The announcement was made during a board meeting of the ministry
chaired by First Deputy Prime Minister Roman Sklyar. The
modernization will include berth reconstruction and dredging works
aimed at increasing throughput capacity and improving navigational
safety.
In 2024, Kazakhstan adopted the 2024-2028 maritime
infrastructure plan. By 2028, it is planned to increase the
throughput capacity of Kuryk and Aktau ports by 50% (up to 32
million tons of cargo per year in total) and container cargo
transportation three times (more than 200,000 TEUs per year).
The dredging operations at the port of Kuryk were successfully
finalized in 2024, enhancing the channel depth from 5 meters to an
impressive 7–8 meters.
The completion of a container hub at the Aktau port in 2025 has
revolutionized cargo handling, significantly boosting the
competitiveness of Kazakhstan’s logistics on the global stage.
