Kazakhstan ports: 21.8 to 30 million tonnes, eight more vessels by 2029

Kazakhstan government (Sep 2026): seaport capacity 21.8→30 Mt by 2030; eight more vessels (dry/container) by 2029; TITR capacity aim ~6→10 Mt/year. GFC 18 Sep: Aktau/Kuryk container target ~80k→300k TEU by 2029; Sarzha at Kuryk ~+10 Mt/year by 2030. Fleet build already underway (KTZ six-vessel deal incl. two ~780 TEU containerships at Baku yard). For OOG, tonnage ≠ ferry slot — ramp, draft, Ro-Ro queue and road permits still dominate.
