Khorgos Gateway Dry Port in Kazakhstan handled over 372,000 TEU in 2025, marking a 2% increase, enhancing its role as a key transshipment hub.
Kazakhstan's Khorgos Gateway Dry Port handled more than 372,000 TEU in 2025, a two percent increase on the previous year, reports Kazakhstan's Astana Times.
The facility continues to strengthen its role as a transshipment hub linking China with Europe and Central Asia, supporting growth in cross-border rail freight along the trans-Eurasian corridor.
Infrastructure expansion underpinned the performance. In 2025, Khorgos Gateway added 10 new broad-gauge railway tracks and introduced intelligent upgrades that cut the average container handling time from five hours to one hour, significantly improving turnaround efficiency.
The dry port is Kazakhstan's second major logistics project with China, following the terminal at Lianyungang. It includes a rail transshipment station, a wheat facility, and a large container yard, forming an integrated logistics platform on the border.
Operating within a special economic zone, Khorgos Gateway offers tax and customs preferences that have attracted companies from multiple industries, supporting transit operations as well as regional manufacturing and logistics services.
