Turkmenbashi Port Tourism

Turkmenbashi Port is located on the eastern coast of the Caspian Sea in the city of Turkmenbashi, formerly known as Krasnovodsk, in Turkmenistan. With its strategic position, it serves as a major shipping and ferry port, linking Turkmenistan with other Caspian Sea nations. The port underwent significant expansion and modernization efforts that were completed in 2018, enabling it to increase its freight handling capabilities and improve logistical connections across Central Asia. The new port complex includes ferry, passenger, and cargo terminals along with ship repair facilities. This development is part of Turkmenistan's broader aim to enhance its transport infrastructure and establish itself as a key transit hub on the East-West and North-South transport corridors. The port plays a crucial role in the region's economy, especially regarding oil and gas exports. It also caters to the transportation needs of several international projects and has the potential to become a major logistics center in the Caspian region.
