Port of Alat (Baku), description. The port of Alat (Baku, Azerbaijan) is a new complex of the Baku International Sea Trade Port, the construction of which began in 2010. The construction of a new complex in the port of Alat was accepted due to the fact that the old port was located in the center of Baku city, which created unnecessary pressure on the infrastructure and ecology of the city of Baku. Plus, due to the congestion of roads in the capital of Azerbaijan, transportation of goods from the port took a lot of time.
