Batumi Oil Terminal (BOT), KazTransOil JSC’s asset in Georgia, has resumed jet fuel transshipment after an eight-year hiatus. It creates a key logistics hub for the transportation of JET A-1 aviation fuel from European refineries to Kazakhstan through the Trans-Caspian International Transport Route.
The first shipment to BOT since resuming operations comprised of 10,000 tonnes of JET A-1 and is currently being stored at the terminal before being transported to the Republic of Kazakhstan. As well as jet fuel, BOT handles crude oil, fuel oil, diesel, motor gasoline, kerosene, LPG and other liquid bulk petroleum cargoes.
According to BOT’s press release, ‘the resumption of JET A-1 transshipment expands the logistics capabilities of Batumi Oil Terminal, promotes freight transportation along the Middle Corridor, enhances the resilience of international supply chains and strengthens the transit potential of the KazTransOil Group.’
