Multimodal terminal expansion planned by 2026

By early 2026, the terminal will expand its infrastructure with 9,800 m² of warehouse space, additional container yards, a truck parking area, and a fourth railway access track.

These upgrades will boost the multimodal terminal’s annual throughput capacity to 200,000 TEU. The improved infrastructure will enhance its competitiveness on the Eurasian logistics route.

Multimodal terminal as a regional logistics hub

With the launch of the second and third phases, the terminal will broaden its cargo range to include bulk materials like minerals, metal ores, fertilizers, and more.

The project is set to become a key logistics hub for the Caucasus and Central Asia, reinforcing Georgia’s role in the Middle Corridor connecting Europe and Asia.

The pilot operation took place on May 3, 2025, when a train arrived from Batumi port carrying 30 containers, each loaded with 26 tons of various goods.
