German companies have already expressed their interest in the expansion of cooperation with Turkmenistan. In the course of the forum German SAP has presented innovative solutions on the effective management of the port infrastructure.

Turkmenbashi port is the main passenger harbour and cargo port in Turkmenistan. Having a great geopolitical importance in Eurasia the port is capable of accommodating vessels throughout the year as well as carrying out loading and unloading operations.

German Inros Lackner AG operates as consulting company within the framework of the project. The new port is considered to be an important step to form modern transport infrastructure which allows bringing economic and trade cooperation between Asia and Europe up to a new level, gives powerful stimulus to the long-term development of inter-regional relations and provides for strong possibilities to increase transport flows in the Eurasian area.
