Baku / 14.05.18 / Turan: Azerbaijan has created the largest merchant marine fleet in the Caspian Sea, having 260 ships, the head of state Ilham Aliyev stated, speaking today at the opening of the new Baku International Sea Port.
He noted that in recent years a new shipbuilding plant was built in Baku, and the country itself can build various types of vessels, and is no longer dependent on foreign partners.
The currently implemented transport project "North-South" will allow in the future to unite all roads and communications from north to south and from south to west and they will all sail through Azerbaijan, he said. Aliyev reminded that Azerbaijan allocated a loan to Iran for $ 500 million to complete works on creating a corridor "North-South". -02D-
