Batumi Sea Port LLC, a foreign asset of KazTransOil JSC, handled 6 million 900 thousand tonnes of cargo from January through October 2026. That was 13% more than in the corresponding period of 2025.
The increase was driven by higher volumes of dry, container and ferry cargo. Dry cargo handling totalled 1 million 596 thousand tonnes, up 10% year on year. Container cargo reached 3 million 264 thousand tonnes, a 15% increase.
Ferry cargo handling rose to 467 thousand tonnes, 58% above the same period last year. The increase was linked in part to the launch of an additional Constanta–Batumi route and the deployment of another ferry on the Varna–Batumi route.
