Logistics Overview
Kazakhstan is the world’s largest landlocked country and the backbone of the China–Europe overland “Middle Corridor”: rail via Khorgos/Dostyk, Caspian shipping via Aktau, and road corridors in every direction.
Infrastructure Advantage
Rail dominates serious freight: the Khorgos Gateway dry port transloads China–Europe trains, and the Trans-Caspian route links Aktau to Baku for corridor traffic avoiding Russia. Oil and minerals lead exports. For imports, routing choice (via Russia, via the Caspian, or via China) is the central planning decision.
