The port serves as a European gateway for international trade in Georgia, Armenia and Azerbaijan and further through the ports of the Caspian Sea to the countries of Central Asia and in the opposite direction.
The Black Sea port of Poti is a connecting link in the transportation of goods from Turkey, the Middle East, Europe to the countries of Central Asia and in the opposite direction. Transportation is carried out in three main directions and back:
-

APM Terminals Poti is fully served by on-dock rail, connecting the port to the Georgian Railway network, as well as to the markets of Armenia, Azerbaijan, throughout Central Asia and beyond. Through our rail network, cargo can be safely, quickly and efficiently transported between Georgia and these markets, in addition to connecting these markets by rail and ocean links to the Black Sea, and through the Dardanelles Strait.
