Georgia has entered the active phase of construction of the Anaklia deep-water port on the country's western coast. According to the Ministry of Economy, all preparatory work has been completed, and the Belgian company Jan De Nul, responsible for marine infrastructure, has now commenced work on the project.
The work includes the construction of approximately 1380 meters of breakwater and the deepening of the entrance channel to 18 meters, which will allow large cargo vessels to be accommodated. The authorities call the project a key element of the strategy to strengthen Georgia's position as a transit hub within the Middle Corridor between Asia and Europe.
Port construction began in September 2024, with project completion expected within three years. In addition to the port itself, the development plan includes railway and road infrastructure, as well as the modernization of the country's transport system as a whole.
