The Caspian Sea is increasingly vital for the Middle Corridor connecting China to Europe via Kazakhstan and Azerbaijan. Both countries are enhancing their fleets and port facilities to accommodate rising maritime transport volumes. Kazakhstan's cargo transport on the Trans-Caspian International Transport Route has surged significantly, prompting fleet expansions and new ship constructions in Azerbaijan. The cooperation between Kazakhstan and Azerbaijan in shipbuilding is strengthening, with agreements signed to improve the transport corridor's infrastructure. However, challenges remain, including port capacity and the declining water levels of the Caspian Sea, necessitating dredging projects to enhance operational capabilities.
