An exhibition dedicated to the 160th anniversary of the Azerbaijan State Caspian Shipping Company will be held in Baku.
The exhibition will open at Baku Museum Center on October 1 at 18:00.
An art contest among national artists will be held as part of the event.
About 100 works by young Azerbaijani artists, sculptors and graphic artists will be presented to art lovers.
For example, "Steamship-160", "My Caspian Sea", "The Sea Loves Bold" illustrate the complex and specific work of Azerbaijani seamen, the development of the shipping company in Azerbaijan. The art works of the contest participants also reflect the incredible beauty of the Caspian Sea, the international activities of the Azerbaijan Caspian Shipping Company and much more.
The exhibition will last until October 3.
The Azerbaijan Caspian Shipping Closed Joint-Stock Company was established by merging country's two largest fleets - the Azerbaijan State Caspian Sea Shipping Company and the Caspian Sea Oil Fleet of the State Oil Company of Azerbaijan Republic.
Two companies were merged in order to continue fundamental structural reforms in the economy, increase domestic and international transportation in maritime industry, enhance competitiveness and transit potential of Azerbaijan and get synergies from centralized management of the state owned shipping companies.
The Azerbaijan Caspian Shipping is comprised of the offshore support and merchant fleets and two shipyards.
The "Azerbaijan Caspian Shipping" CJSC plays connecting role in the Transport Corridor Europe-Caucasus-Asia (TRACECA), provides marine transportation of goods and passengers along with Trans-Caspian Sea as well as provides offshore support services for oil and gas operations.
