The Argus Black Sea and Caspian Key Terminals and Logistics Conference, taking place on 14–15 May 2026 in Batumi, will bring together more than 170 cargo owners, exporters, senior executives of the leading transport companies, logisticians and traders to share the latest news on the challenges to and opportunities for cargo transportation in Сentral Asia, the Caspian-Black Sea region and eastern Europe.

The conference will focus on discussing key logistics trends and opportunities for cooperation. Against the backdrop of increasing shipping restrictions and blockages of major straits – which directly affect supply stability and freight costs – the event becomes even more important, as it provides valuable insight into alternative transportation routes.

The event will cover all major cargo segments, including liquid bulk, dry bulk and containerised cargo, with a particular focus on logistics flows and infrastructure along the Caspian-Black Sea corridor. Among the participants confirmed so far are representatives of Вlack Sea Petroleum, PTC Holding, BMF Port Burgas, Indorama, KPO, KazAzot, KPLER, Chevron, Uzkimyoimpeks, TEXOL Group, Rompetrol, Petrocas Energy Group, Maersk Georgia, Wondernet Express Investment Group, SOCAR Midstream Operations, Tricon Energy, Kazphosphate, Hexagon Trading, Aztransrail, Aditya Birla Global Trading and many others.
