With 80% of its total activity being mainly transit cargo from Kazakhstan and Turkmenistan, the ferry terminal at Port of Baku is the main entry platform in the Eurasian transport network. To serve the existing double-decker railway ferries, 26 carriages with a total length of 364 meters can be accommodated on the four ferry tracks to be provided on each berth. 
Port of Baku has access to four main international railways: the railway from Baku to the south of Russia and extending to the northwest; the railway extending to the west, from Georgia to the Black Sea and the coast of Turkey (Baku-Tbilisi-Kars railway); a railway extending to the south-west, to Iran and then to Turkey; and the railway running south to Astara on Azerbaijan's border with Iran.  

Port of Baku, located at a strategic crossroads of the main North-South and East-West transport corridors, provides access to the main road networks of the country. The Baku-Alyat-Ganja-Gazakh-Georgia border (M2 highway), which is part of the Azerbaijani segment of the TRACECA corridor, the Baku-Guba-Russia border (M1 highway) and the Baku-Astara-Iran border (M3 highway), which form the Azerbaijani segments of the North-South corridor), including all major road routes of Azerbaijan, intersect at Alyat.
