Southern Corridor

Strategic Gateway Powered by Green Line Operations

Green Line Operations is proud to facilitate trade along the Southern Corridor of Uzbekistan, a vital transit route connecting the country’s southern regions to the Persian Gulf, Middle East, and Europe. This corridor offers a faster, more reliable, and cost-effective alternative to northern routes, unlocking seamless access for Uzbek exporters and importers to international markets.

Key Countries in the Southern Corridor

The Southern Corridor integrates multiple strategic countries, enhancing trade flow through efficient border and port connectivity:

Turkmenistan

Serves as a critical transit bridge between Uzbekistan and Iran.

Extensive rail and road networks allow smooth cargo movement toward Iranian ports such as Bandar Abbas and Chabahar.

Key border crossings at Farap–Serakhs and Türkmenabat enable streamlined customs procedures.

Iran

Acts as the central hub of the Southern Corridor, connecting Central Asia to the Persian Gulf.

Major ports such as Bandar Abbas and Chabahar provide direct access to Asia, the Middle East, and international maritime routes.

Well-established customs zones and logistics infrastructure ensure faster cargo clearance and reliable sea connections.

Turkey

Provides a gateway to Europe, linking Central Asian cargo flows through advanced rail and road networks.

Strategic ports such as Istanbul, Izmir, and Mersin enable quick westbound shipments to EU markets.

Supports multimodal integration, combining rail, road, and maritime logistics for cost-efficient trade.

Afghanistan (Emerging Route)

Offers alternative access to southern ports, particularly via routes connecting to Pakistan.

Although still developing, it holds significant long-term strategic value for regional trade.

Azerbaijan & Georgia

Caspian Sea transit via Turkmenbashi port enables cargo movement to Azerbaijan and Georgia.

From here, shipments can reach Turkey and Europe, forming part of the Middle Corridor integration, complementing Silk Road connectivity.
