The Caspian's "Green" Course - The Port of Turkmenbashi Participates in a Large-Scale Eco-Project
Ecoworld | ORIENT. The Turkmenbashi International Seaport has been named among the key logistics hubs that will undergo a large-scale environmental transformation. As part of an OSCE project, the Italian company RINA and the German HPC Hamburg Port Consulting are launching a five-year program to develop "smart" and "green" ports in the Caspian region.
The "Promoting Green Ports and Connectivity in the Caspian Region" project is not simply an environmental initiative, but the introduction of high technology into logistics. Over the next five years, European experts will help the Port of Turkmenbashi achieve the following objectives:
Low-carbon model: transition to renewable energy sources within the port.
Digital monitoring: implementation of systems that track environmental impacts and energy consumption in real time.
Energy efficiency: modernization of infrastructure to reduce resource losses during cargo handling.
Staff training: Turkmen specialists will be trained in international environmental management standards.
Amid the growth of transit traffic along the Lapis Lazuli route and the North-South corridor, the port's environmental status is becoming a competitive advantage. Green certification will allow the port of Turkmenbashi to attract leading global carriers focused on sustainable development.
In addition to Turkmenbashi, the project includes the ports of Baku, Aktau, Kuryk, and Batumi, underscoring the commitment of countries in the region to create a unified, environmentally friendly transport corridor between Asia and Europe.
