The capabilities of the Turkmen shipyard "Balkan", which has started the construction of the first vessels, aroused particular interest among the participants of the VI International transport and logistics business Forum "New Silk Way", which is taking place on Wednesday, October 4, in Astana, the capital of Kazakhstan.
In his speech, Deputy Director General of the Agency for Transport and Communications under the Cabinet of Ministers of the country Batyr Annayev drew the attention of the delegates of the representative forum to the shipbuilding projects that have been launched in Turkmenistan.
He informed that the first domestic cargo ship is planned to be launched in a year and a half, and then the following vessels will leave every two months.
