Cargo Transportation from Turkey to Turkmenistan.

Cargo delivery from Turkey to Turkmenistan is one of the main activities of Simplextrans. Economic agents often choose railway delivery of cargoes from Turkey to Turkmenistan. This preference is due to the requirement of obtaining a visa for drivers when transporting cargo by road, which can take considerable time. In contrast, rail freight from Turkey to Turkmenistan does not require such documentation, allowing for immediate shipment.

Shipping Options from Turkey to Turkmenistan

  1. Road + Railway Car: Simplextrans will deliver your cargo from Turkey by truck to the ports of Poti or Batumi in Georgia. Here, the cargo is transshipped to a railway wagon for further shipment to Turkmenistan. Depending on the nature and density of the cargo, it’s possible to combine loads from two or even three trucks into one covered wagon (120 m³, 138 m³, 158 m³).

  2. Sea Container + Railway Wagon: In this option, sea containers are delivered directly to the shipper’s warehouse in Turkey and then returned to the Turkish port. From there, they are shipped by sea to the port of Poti or Batumi, where the cargo is transshipped into railway wagons for delivery to Turkmenistan.

  3. Sea Vessel + Rail Cars: This option is suitable for large consignments (minimum 1000 tons). The sender in Turkey or Simplextrans delivers the cargo by road to a convenient port in Turkey, where the cargo is consolidated. Once the consignment is ready, it is loaded onto a sea vessel that sails to Poti or Batumi, facilitating direct transshipment into railway wagons for onward shipment to Turkmenistan (Gypjak, Turkmenbashi-1, Balkanabat, Bamy, etc.).

  4. Sea Container + Our Own Container: The cargo is shipped from Turkey to Poti or Batumi in a sea container. It is then transported to the port of Alyat (Baku, Azerbaijan), where the cargo is transferred to our own container. The container is loaded onto a ship for delivery to Turkmenbashi, where customs declaration occurs before reloading onto trucks for delivery to the recipient.

All above options involve transit through the territories of Georgia and Azerbaijan using the ferry crossing between Alyat (Baku, Azerbaijan) and Turkmenbashi (Turkmenistan).

  1. Road Transport via Iran: Some clients opt out of this route due to international sanctions. Additional disadvantages include two overloads along the route at Bazargan (Turkey/Iran border) and Sarakhs (Iran/Turkmenistan).
