The Middle Corridor at Scale: Gulf–Türkiye–Central Asia Logistics After the Trans-Caspian Expansion

Executive Summary

How expanded Trans-Caspian capacity, the Baku–Tbilisi–Kars line and Turkish port investment are reshaping transit times and landed costs for Gulf exporters and Central Asian importers.

The Geo-Economic Pivot

Supply chain security has propelled the Trans-Caspian International Transport Route (the Middle Corridor) from an alternative path to a central arterial line linking Asia, Türkiye, and Europe. With modernized customs digital systems and port infrastructure in Mersin and Filyos, container dwell times have fallen significantly.
