Passenger transportation on Caspian Sea can be arranged

The Caspian ports in the future may consider the possibility of establishing passenger transportation, a source in Baku International Seaport reported. “In the future, it’s planned to consider the possibility of passenger traffic between the ports if demand arose,” the source said.

The source reports that the issue was also discussed during the recent 4th five-sided joint meeting of the Caspian countries’ port authorities. The next meeting such meeting is to be held in Baku in 2013.

Earlier, the Iranian side planned to restore the sea passenger transportation between the Iranian trading port of Anzali and Baku port. This passenger line operated for a long time, and has been temporarily closed in 1998. However, the sides failed to restore the route.
