Jan De Nul deals aim to accelerate “middle corridor”

The first contract involves constructing a new deep-water port in Anaklia, Georgia, while the second project involves the expansion of the Kuryk Port in Kazakhstan.

The company believes both projects will provide a significant boost to the “Middle Corridor,” (which is also known as the Trans-Caspian International Transport Route).

The construction of a new deep water port in Anaklia, Georgia, and the expansion of the Kuryk port in Kazakhstan, are being viewed as alternatives to the northern route through Russia, or the southern route via the Suez Canal. Jan De Nul Group has confirmed it is to undertake capital dredging work in Kazakhstan and build a breakwater, access channels and turning points in Georgia.
