Georgia has significantly improved the efficiency of its seaports. According to Tamar Ioseliani, Deputy Minister of Economy and Sustainable Development, in the first half of 2026, ship waiting times were reduced from 24 hours to approximately one hour, thanks to the digitalization of processes and modernization of port infrastructure.

According to her, in the first six months of the year, the total tonnage of vessels served by Georgian ports increased by approximately 20%. This was facilitated by the ability to accommodate larger vessels, which increased terminal throughput and improved their operational efficiency.

One of the key factors was the continuous dredging operations in port waters and shipping channels. In addition, the authorities, together with port operators, significantly simplified administrative procedures and introduced the "single window" principle, reducing the number of bureaucratic operations.

The Ministry of Economy notes that the changes made strengthen Georgia's position as one of the key logistics hubs of the Middle Corridor, increasing its attractiveness for international cargo transportation and transit routes between Europe and Asia.
