Anaklia is a strategic emerging deepwater port and economic zone on the Black Sea coast of western Georgia, located in the Samegrelo-Upper Svanetia region. As a key modern infrastructure development project in Georgia, the port is designed to handle 100 million tons per year and aims to enhance the logistical efficiency of the Eurasian trade corridor, connecting Central Asia with European markets. Its location near the Turkish border is of both military and commercial importance.
Anaklia is situated in a natural deep-water harbor on the Black Sea, which remains unfrozen all year round and allows for the berthing of large container ships. It is surrounded by the Kolschis wetlands and the Carpathian Mountains, which are rich in ecological resources. The construction of the port emphasizes sustainable development, taking into account environmental protection. Its strategic location strengthens Georgia's role as a key hub along the "Belt and Road" route, attracting international investment.
The project is a catalyst for local employment and tourism, with the neighboring ancient cities of Poti and Tbilisi providing cultural complementarities. The region is renowned for its wine culture and Svanetia heritage, with future plans for a free trade zone and high-tech industries to diversify the Georgian economy.
