Built to handle general, containerised and dry bulk cargo, it gives the port flexible handling and higher productivity.<\/p>\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Project Significance<\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The delivery expanded RIKON&#8217;s presence in Central Asia and reinforced the Port of Aktau as a transit hub on the Middle Corridor between Central Asia, China and Europe.
