Port of Baku, located on the ancient Silk Road connecting Europe and Asia, is a prime transport and logistics hub of Eurasia. It covers an area of 400 hectares. Being an important segment of the Trans-Caspian International Transport Route, the Port of Baku with its modern operating system provides prompt cargo services, as well as has at its disposal open and covered storage facilities designed for all types of cargo.
On 25 February 2025, President of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev signed a decree on the reorganization of Azerbaijan Railways Closed Joint-Stock Company (CJSC) through the merger of Baku International Sea Trade Port CJSC into its structure. This strategic move aims to enhance the efficiency of transport operations and streamline logistics processes across the railway and maritime transport sectors.
