BATUMI SEA PORT INCREASES CARGO THROUGHPUT AND STRENGTHENS FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE

In the first half of 2026, total cargo throughput at Batumi Sea Port (BSP) reached 4.024 million tonnes, representing an 8% increase compared to the same period in 2025.

The growth in cargo volumes reflects sustained market demand for the port's services and the effectiveness of ongoing efforts to attract additional cargo flows.

During the reporting period, BSP also implemented a number of initiatives aimed at increasing revenue. Effective 1 May 2026, revised port dues came into force, which are expected to generate approximately US$1 million in additional revenue by the end of 2026.

In addition, the tariff for urea terminal services was increased effective 1 January 2026. This measure is projected to deliver approximately US$200,000 in additional revenue by year-end.

These initiatives further strengthen the port's financial resilience by creating additional revenue streams to support infrastructure development, enhance service quality, and finance future investment projects.
