The expansion of Mersin Port is another chapter in JDN’s contribution to developing the Middle Corridor, also known as the Trans-Caspian International Transport Route.

This maritime trade route is considered a reliable alternative to the northern route through Russia, or the southern route via the Suez Canal.

Jan De Nul is also building marine infrastructure for a new deep sea port in Anaklia, Georgia, and is expanding the Port of Kuryk, Kazakhstan, all part of the Trans-Caspian route.

This involves undertaking capital dredging work in Kazakhstan and building a breakwater, access channels and turning points in Georgia.
