Freight to Turkmenistan via the Caspian Sea

Turkmenistan is a gas-rich country on the Caspian Sea, with a tightly regulated economy and demand for energy, construction and industrial equipment. Qube Cargo ships to Ashgabat, Turkmenbashi and across Turkmenistan by road and air, using the Middle Corridor and the Caspian ferry from Baku.

For urgent cargo, we arrange air freight into Ashgabat. We check the paperwork with your importer before goods ship, so they aren’t held on arrival.
