Project location and goal • Aktau International Multimodal Transportation and Logistics Center (AIMTLC) is located behind the Aktau International Free Trade Sea Port at the Caspian Sea south-eastward from the coastal facilities and Aktau city (residential). • AIMTLC aimed to be a big transportation hub for bulk-loading, storage, re-processing of goods for export-import and transit operations with sea, railroad, car road and airport. • Goods to be engaged with: oil and oil products, metals, dry goods. • Services: “A”, “B”, “C” categories warehousing, customs clearance, brokerage, multi-modal loadings, container terminal, container repair, consign\distributors warehouses, rent, service (bank, hotel, parking, restaurants) covered with high-level IT.

  3. International transportation corridors • AIMTLC plays a key role in transportation corridors between Europe, Asia and Middle East: TRACECA and NORTH-SOUTH. • Since 1993 TRACECA supported by EU Technical Assistance program for CIS (TACIS) has included Aktau into several projects in view of development of logistics centers totaling 9500000 Euro. Detailed information can be obtained online at www.traceca-org.org for projects TA58, IP10, TA55 and IP12. • With growth of Russia, India and China as well as the Persian Gulf States and Middle East AIMTLC becomes important on the route at the Caspian Sea.
