Yesterday the modern ferry "Azerbaijan" arrived at Turkmenbashi seaport of Turkmenistan. This ferry came off the shipyards of the Baku Shipyard in 2020. Azerbaijan Caspian Shipping Company CJSC was the customer of the ferry construction. The multi-purpose ferry is suitable for transportation of passengers, vehicles, trains. The length of the vessel is 154 meters and its carrying capacity is 5,540 tons. Modern equipment was delivered to Turkmenistan by the ferry yesterday. The meeting of transport was held in a solemn atmosphere with the participation of elders and youth.

In view of the ongoing modernization and improvement of technical equipment of the Turkmenbashi sea port, the annual cargo traffic by sea will increase, as well as the overall density of sea transit through the main "sea gate" of Turkmenistan.
