POSSIBLE LAUNCH OF FERRY SERVICE OF CAUCASUS-POTI PORT BEING DISCUSSED IN YEREVAN
Yerevan, February 10. ArmInfo. A possible launch of a ferry service
of the Caucasus-Poti Port is being discussed in Yerevan.
A railway source told an ArmInfo correspondent that Hakim Machanov, the
owner of a ferry-vessel, negotiates with the Armenian leadership. He
purchased the vessel for about $18 mln. This ferry-vessel is able to
launch such a complicated port as the Port of Caucasus. In the near
future, H.Machanov is expected to hold negotiations with Armenian
Minister of Transport and Communication Andranik Manoukyan, and,
probably, President Robert Kocharyan, too, on using the ferry-
vessel for transporting Armenian cargoes. The sides don’t yet
promulgate the details of this project, moreover, the Armenian
side is considering the project with careful optimism. To remind,
the lack of such ferry doesn’t yet allow Armenia to carry out cargo
transportation in full volume.
