Azerbaijan to get new ferries
BAKU – Azerbaijan’s state-run shipping company, Caspar, and the Croatian shipyard Uljanik have signed a preliminary agreement to manufacture new ferries for Azerbaijan, Caspar spokesman Vugar Sadykhov said Monday.
Caspar head Aydin Bashirov said at the signing that the Baku-Tbilisi-Kars railway, which will link
Azerbaijan, Georgia and Turkey, is to be commissioned in the near future, boosting cargo flow through the Eurasian transport corridor TRACECA. "Expansion of the shipping fleet will allow transporting greater volumes of cargo," Bashirov said.
The cost of building ferries for Azerbaijan will be 22 million euros per vessel. The ferries will have the capacity to hold up to 54 cars.
