“Active construction works of maritime infrastructure are currently underway on the territory of the Anaklia Deep-Sea Port, carried out by the world-leading Belgian company Jan De Nul N.V. together with its Georgian partner.

The completion of the first phase of the project is planned for 2029, after which the port’s annual throughput capacity will be at least 600,000 TEU.
