Kazmortransflot shatters cargo record on the Middle Corridor in May 2026

Kazmortransflot, the official maritime carrier on the Middle Corridor, has set a new record for cargo transport between Aktau and Alyat. In May 2026, the company moved 7,451 TEUs—more than double the volume from the same month last year. The surge reflects growing demand along this vital trade route. The company’s success came from better cargo distribution across its fleet. By optimising vessel deployment, Kazmortransflot increased sailing frequencies on the Aktau-Alyat route. This efficiency boost helped achieve the record-breaking figures.

Since 2019, the carrier has transported over 210,000 TEUs between the two ports. This total equals roughly 2.7 million tons of cargo. The Middle Corridor, a key link in regional trade, has seen rising demand for reliable shipping services. The May 2026 result marks a sharp rise compared to May 2025, when only 3,359 TEUs were carried. The improvement highlights both operational changes and broader growth in corridor traffic.

Kazmortransflot’s record month demonstrates its expanding role in Middle Corridor logistics. The company’s ability to handle larger volumes strengthens its position as a key player in regional trade. Efficient operations and increased demand have driven this significant rise in cargo movement.
