• Port development in Azerbaijan: Why American businesses should consider Azerbaijan?

This section discusses the stages of port development in Azerbaijan in connection with FTZ development in Alat. Main question of this section is why American companies need to consider Azerbaijan as a production and/or distribution hub in their transcontinental supply chains. What “benefits” shippers and carriers receive, besides cargo handling in/through Baku port?

• Transformation into a landlord port: What does necessitate this transformation?

This section delves into the port’s strategic development goals – its intention to be developed into a world-class Green Port, providing sustainable growth, and rationalizing future infrastructure expansion needs.   

• From cargo-handling to logistics value-added services: What opportunities are available for American businesses to improve their productivity?

This section focuses mainly on Azerbaijan’s capacity to deliver value-added services. In the modern phase of port development worldwide, logistics centers with manufacturing, assembly, subassembly, and distribution capacities attract more customers. What are the comparative advantages of Azerbaijan?

• Harmonization of cargo handling and logistics services throughout the region.

This section discusses Azerbaijan as a part of a greater logistics map of Central Eurasia and covers port/FTZ development in neighboring countries.
