Capsian Sea's Vital Role in Maritime
The Caspian Sea plays a vital role in regional maritime trade, serving as a crucial corridor for oil, gas, and goods between Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, Turkmenistan, Russia, and Iran.
Ports like Baku and Turkmenbashi facilitate large-scale cargo movements, including energy exports and the transportation of goods along the Trans-Caspian trade routes, which link Central Asia to European markets.
