Mariam Kvrivishvili: Anaklia Port operating model will ensure Georgian ownership while securing multi-partner international engagement

“In the context of developing the country’s transport sector, the Anaklia Deep Sea Port project is naturally of exceptional importance,” stated the Minister of Economy and Sustainable Development, Mariam Kvrivishvili.

Discussing the Anaklia Deep Sea Port project, the Minister of Economy noted that construction works are currently underway.

“Dredging operations have already commenced on the site of the Anaklia Deep Sea Port. We reached a major decision to modify Anaklia Port’s operating model. Under this updated framework, we will be able to ensure that, on the one hand, the port remains under Georgian ownership, while on the other, the structure will allow us to secure the active participation of several of our international partners in its operation,” Mariam Kvrivishvili noted.

Furthermore, the Minister stressed that Anaklia Port will not only boost Georgia’s economy and transport sector, but will also play a pivotal role in the ongoing development of the Middle Corridor.
