Poti Port Enters a New Phase of Growth

A Turning Point for Black Sea Logistics

In 2025, Poti Port achieved its highest container throughput on record. For global supply chains, this is more than just a statistic. It reflects a structural shift in international freight flows between Europe, the Caucasus, and Central Asia.

The surge in container volumes is closely linked to infrastructure upgrades, increased terminal capacity, and the rapid development of the Middle Corridor trade route.

Why Container Throughput Hit a Record High

Several factors fueled this growth:

• expanded container terminal facilities
• faster vessel handling operations
• improved rail and road connectivity
• rising transit cargo from China
• demand for diversified logistics routes

As global trade adapts to geopolitical and economic changes, businesses are prioritizing flexibility and risk management. Poti Port has positioned itself as a strategic multimodal hub within the Black Sea region.

Impact on International Shipping and Supply Chains

For freight forwarders, importers, and exporters, the record performance means:

• more reliable transit schedules
• competitive freight rates
• alternative routing options
• strengthened Eurasian transport corridors

The port’s development enhances multimodal logistics solutions combining sea, rail, and road transport, reducing bottlenecks and transit time.
