From March 1, 2023, "Azerbaijan Caspian Shipping" CJSC (ASCO) will reduce prices for road transport in both directions along the Baku-Turkmenbashi-Baku route, reports Sputnik.
The tariff for transportation of one standard road train (TIR length 16,5 meters) in one direction (Baku-Turkmenbashi or Turkmenbashi-Baku) will be 1000 USD instead of 1072 USD.
If you purchase a round trip ticket in advance, the fare will be 1600 USD instead of 1716 USD.
It is noted that if the length of the wheeled vehicles is more or less than 16,5 meters, then in this case the rates are calculated in proportion to the length of the wheeled vehicles.
Since the beginning of February, passenger cars have been transported in this direction at reduced rates. Currently, the cost of transporting a passenger car on a ship is 200 USD instead of 325 USD.
The reduction of tariffs is aimed at creating favorable conditions for road transport across the Caspian in the direction of Turkmenistan, the source notes.
