3rd conference and exhibition Black and Caspian Freight Forum 2024: corridors, cargos, infrastructure is an in-person networking platform for the experts from the Black and Caspian Seas logistics market organized by RDL group company which will be held in the vibrant city of Baku from 17 to 19 September in a three-day format with even more time for networking and discussion in the FourSeasons Hotel Baku.
Today, geopolitical conditions in the region are forcing logistics companies and cargo owners to make active use of the transport corridors that pass through the territories of the Black and the Caspian Sea countries.
This dynamic facilitates the development of new services, routes, and infrastructure.
In addition, it stimulates the acceleration of inter-state agreements for the simplification and digitization of international transport documents circulation, transport corridors and routes, customs clearance and trade, creation and improvement of the Single Window mechanism.
All the issues mentioned earlier and more critical market updates, trends, and practical cases, will be discussed at the event.
