2.1 Azerbaijan Port Assessment
Azerbaijan Port Assessment
Sea and water cargo transportation have vital importance for
Azerbaijan, especially in regions where road and rail connections
are disputed. Azerbaijan has direct maritime connections only with
other Caspian littoral states (Iran, Kazakhstan, Russia, and
Turkmenistan). However, the Volga-Don canal provides a maritime
access to the high seas. The main activity is transport of cargo,
mainly of oil and oil products. Shipping regions are Caspian,
Black, Mediterranean and Marmara Seas. The main shipping company
owes 72 ships, 37 of which are tankers (including 1
water-carrier).
Baku International Marine Trade Port is the largest port on the
Caspian Sea. Its ferry terminal underwent a major reconstruction
supported by a US$16.2 million loan from EBRD. It is now able to
handle 30 million tons of freight a year. The Caspian Sea provides
vital transport links with other countries and is being used to
ship oil until various pipeline projects are completed.
Maritime transport and offshore pipelines
The Azerbaijan State Caspian Marine Company (KASPAR) is a major
ship owning company in the Caspian Basin. It is a diversified
transport organization whose main activity is the transportation of
goods with a predominance of oil and oil products. Navigation
areas: Caspian, Black, Mediterranean and Marmara Seas. Strategies
and priorities for the development of the shipping aim at making
better use of the Eurasian Transport Corridor. The main
production base of the shipping company is a transport fleet
consisting of 70 vessels, 30 of which are 34 tankers (water
carriers), 26 universal cargo ships, and 2 roll on- roll-off and 8
marine rail cargo ferries, with a total deadweight of 316.0
thousand tons.
Today tanker capacity of Azerbaijan estimated 15-20 million tons of
transported oil and oil products per year. The active development
of ferry services on the lines of Baku-Turkmenbashi-Baku,
Baku-Aktau-Baku is being planned.
In September of 2007, the Korean company GSEngineering &
Construction presented to the Ministry of Transport of the final
version of the construction project of a new seaport in Alat.
Moving the seaport from the centre of Baku to Alat settlement
should be realized by 2015. According to preliminary estimates, the
construction of a new seaport would cost more than $ 400
million.
According to the project, the port will have 11 bridges- piers. The
new port built to international standards, will be able to receive
and process 11.6 million tons of cargo in 2015. In light of the
emerging prospects it will be modern gate for access to the Great
Silk Way.
For information on Azerbaijan Port Contact details, please see the following link:
2.1.1 Azerbaijan Baku International Sea Trade Port
Key port information can also be found at: Maritime Database Information on Baku International Sea Port
Port Overview
The Caspian sea fleet plays an important role in transport , but changes in trade and declining production have led to a substantial fall in volume transported . Lying between the black sea and central Asia , Baku is a main international port on the Caspian sea which is seen as a strategic part of Azerbaijan's logistics infrastructure and a key point in the whole logistics corridor through which mineral, commodity and other products pass from central Asia to western markets . The port is assessed throughout the year and is not affected by weather conditions. It has seven quays equipped with 27 cranes hoisting capacity of which ranges from 5 to 40 tons . The port is directly linked to the Azerbaijan rail network through ten rail-sidings . There are mainly two different routes available to move cargoes via Baku port :
- Via Volga-Don waterway , this route is limited to seven months per year ( summer ). The loading of the vessels is limited to a maximum draft restriction of 7 m which permits the vessels with up to 5000 MT capacity to berth .
- During the remaining months the cargo traffic functions within the Caspian sea basin with ports of Makhachkala and Guryev ( Russia ) , Bender -Anzali ( Iran ) , Aktau ( Kazakhstan ) and Turkmenbashi ( Turkmenistan )
It has to be noted that Baku international sea port located
currently in the centre of city will be located very soon to the
area which is 60 KM north of Baku ( Alyat settlement ) .
Since May 1995, Azerbaijan has been a member of the International
Maritime Organization ( IMO ) and has ratified six conventions of
IMO. Azerbaijan entered into numerous intergovernmental agreements
with neighboring countries with respect to maritime transportation
within the Caspian basin .
Baku International Sea Trade Port was founded in 1902 and since it
has always been the largest and the most important of Caspian Sea
ports. The port has been constantly developing over the century and
now plays an important role in trans - Caspian trade and is the
main marine gateway to Azerbaijan. The port operates year-round and
as a vital transit point in Europe-Asia trade that is being
promoted within TRACECA - RESTORATION OF THE HISTORIC SILK ROUTE
project. From April to November when Russian inner waterways
are navigable Baku International Sea Trade Port is accessible by
ships loading cargoes for direct voyages from West European and
Mediterranean ports.
With the dramatic increase in trans-Caspian oil trade volumes and
enormous import to Azerbaijan various equipment for offshore oil
activities over last decade the port has further strengthened its
importance. Due to its modern facilities and year-round
accessibility the port maintains its competitiveness and is widely
used by international traders.
Services rendered to the users of the port include
- Dry cargo and liquid bulk handling
- General and project cargoes
- Container handler (stuffing/stripping)
- Warehousing and storage
- The Baku International Sea Trade Port is comprised of Main Cargo Terminal, Dubendy Oil Terminal, Ferry Terminal and Passenger Terminal. The port`s throughput capacity has been constantly growing and reaches up to 15 million tons of liquid bulk and up to 10 million tons of dry cargoes.

Upon completion of Baku - Tbilisi -Jeyhan oil pipeline construction
that is being carried out within the framework of `Contract of the
Century` significant volumes of oil from abroad is expected to by
delivered to Baku for further transfer to international markets.
Dramatic increase in transit oil calls of upgrade of existing oil
terminal facilities.
There is Vessels Traffic Service operating at the Terminal. It is
responsible for safe navigation in the water area. Vessels Traffic
Service is equipped with contemporary radio navigation hardware,
which provides navigation of ships round-the-clock. Two tugboats,
one of 600 and other of 1600 horse power, fulfill operations on
safe mooring of vessels.
Terminal is furnished with modern reception facilities for
contaminated waters and means for combating environmental pollution
and accidental oil discharge. Two skimmers keep
round-the-clock watch within the harbour.
Main Silo Terminal
Ferry Terminal is used for transshipment of wagons, trucks and
cars as well as embarkation / disembarkation of passengers to/from
ferries shuttling between Baku / Turkmenbashi / Aktau / Iranian
ports. The shuttle service is carried out by Azerbaijan State
Caspian Shipping Company owned ferries. Each ferry can
simultaneously take on its board 28 wagons or 40 trailers, 202
passengers and up to 50 cars. At the terminal it is possible to
transship up to 8 mln. tons of cargoes per annum.
The ferry terminal that constitutes a vital link between Europe and
Asia plays an important role withinTRACECA-RESTORATION OF THE
HISTORIC SILK ROUTE project. In view of the permanent upward trend
in cargo traffic experienced throughout last years, especially in
Europe -Asia direction, significant rise in ferry terminal
throughput can be anticipated over forthcoming years.

Road Class and Surface Conditions
2006 assessment revealed that approximately 70% of Azerbaijan’s roads and highways were in poor condition and required urgent maintenance. Since then the State Program for Rehabilitation and Development of Azerbaijan Republic's Road Networks(2006‐2015) has acted as a road map for addressing these pressing needs. It envisioned a two‐phase rehabilitation of the national road and highway network: Phase 1 (2006‐2009) and Phase 2 (2010‐2015). According to this program, by 2015, Azerbaijan will have repaired and constructed more than 9,500 km of new highways, including 3,578 km of national roads and 5,928 km of local roads. As a result of increased government and international investment in infrastructure projects more than 5,500 km of roads and highways have been rehabilitated. Approximately 806 km of these new roads and highways are of national and international importance. International organizations sponsored 460 km of these highways, while 345 km was financed by the State budget. Currently, construction and rehabilitation work is being continued over 870‐km long parts of the national highways, including 749 km which is financed by international loans. The construction of the country’s international highways and roads along the East‐West and North‐South axes will be completed to international standards by the end of 2012 .
The following table lists the lengths of the main highways in Azerbaijan, and the sections that still require rehabilitation. Along the NSTC route from the Azerbaijan‐Russia border to the Azerbaijan‐Iran border, for example, 53% of roads need to be modernized. The construction work on the northern segment oftheNSTC route (M1) fromBaku to Yalama (Azerbaijan‐Russian border) has completed on 2011, which willreduce transportation time and shorten the distance between Baku and the border by 10 km. The upgrading of the southern segment of the NSTC route from Alyatto Astara (Azerbaijan‐Iran border) (M3) began in 2006 and is expected to be completed in 2013. The M3 is a four‐lane highway that linksIranian and Azerbaijani roads. In the East‐West direction, the main focus is on the 503km long M2 road between Baku and the Red Bridge (Azerbaijan‐Georgia border). The construction work is currently underway on a 171 km segment of M2.

Azerbaijan State Railway (ASR) was established in 1880.
Currently, the total length of railways in Azerbaijan is 2944 km,
the length of operating railways - 2122 km, including 815 km -
double track line. According to the “Program of Azerbaijan
Railway for 2008-2011” the works on the design of high-speed
railway line Baku-Georgian border with 503 km length, which is the
central segment of TRACECA, have been implemented.
Particular importance is the construction of new railway section on
the Baku-Tbilisi-Kars railway, 100 km, and the rehabilitation of
the railway infrastructure of the Baku-Tbilisi-border with Turkey
which will connect by rail area of Middle and Central Asia, through
Azerbaijan, Georgia and Turkey with Europe. Trains which will come
from China and Kazakhstan through Central Asia, the Caspian region,
Baku and Tbilisi will be able to get to Istanbul, and then continue
through the tunnel under the Bosporus to proceed to Europe.

Food prices on some food products increased on a yearly
basis
In Azerbaijan, a decline in wheat flour and bread prices was
observed in August, which reflects the good 2012 harvest. However,
wheat flour prices strengthened in October, although they remained
at about the same level till the end of 2012 due to improved
domestic supplies from the bumper harvest. However, mutton and beef
prices increased by 12 and 6 percent respectively compared to the
same period of last year. Since the share of household expenditure
on food is significant, any increase in food prices puts vulnerable
population groups at risk of food insecurity

3.1 Azerbaijan Fuel
Azerbaijan Fuel
Over 80% of Azerbaijan's oil production currently comes from
offshore, with a significant percentage coming from the
shallow-water section of the Gunashli field, located 100 km off the
Azeri coast. Development of new fields through joint ventures and
PSAs in the Caspian Sea likely will boost Azerbaijan's oil
production well beyond its earlier peak, with predictions that
Azerbaijani oil exports could exceed 1.5 million bbl/d by 2010 and
2 million bbl/d within 20 years.
Currently, Azerbaijan's export routes are: the Baku-Novorossiisk
pipeline ("northern route"), which sends Azeri oil to the Russian
Black Sea, the Baku-Supsa pipeline ("western route"), which mainly
carries AIOC's "early oil" from ACG to Georgia's Black Sea coast
(Batumi) and the Baku-Tbilisi-Ceyhan pipeline ("BTC"), main outlet
for the Azeri-Chirag-Gunashli (ACG) field in the Caspian. Oil
products such as lubricants also are exported by rail in tank
wagons to Georgia's Black Sea ports.
Exports through the northern route began at the end of 1997,
exports on the western route started 1999, with BTC going on line
in 2006 and quickly becoming Azerbaijan's main oil export route.
Current production is 800,000 bbl/d, with 1.2 million bbl/d
expected for 2008.
Azeri crude oil is refined domestically at two refineries: the
Azerineftyag (Baku) refinery, with a capacity of 230,000 bbl/d, and
the Azerneftyanajag (New Baku) refinery, which has a capacity of
212,000 bbl/d. With domestic production topping out at 311,200
bbl/d in 2001 (and half of that exported as crude oil),
Azerbaijan's refineries have been running well below capacity, with
overall refinery utilization rates as low as 40%. Heating oil
accounts for approximately 50% of output at Azeri refineries,
followed by diesel fuel (28%), gasoline (10%), motor oil (7%),
kerosene (3%), and other products (2%). Both of the country's
refineries are in need of modernization, which the Azeri government
estimates will cost between $600 million and $700 million.
Modernization of the two refineries will enable Azerbaijan to
process imported crude oil, thereby freeing up domestic oil for
export via the Baku-Ceyhan pipeline.

Vehicle Rental
Most Azeri roads and streets
are in such a state that it is practically impossible to break the
speed limits, exception made for some avenues and streets in Baku
which are kept in tip top shape (see map for main roads). Side
streets and minor roads have all kinds of debris, open manholes,
and are pot-holed, unmarked and unlit. Even in some areas in the
center of the capital, streetlights are barely noticeable. Villages
and rural areas are woefully under equipped with earth roads and
puddles like great lakes.
Drivers pay little heed to traffic
regulations, so expect a certain degree of artistic liberty when
driving. Azeri driving behaviour is not incredibly dangerous nor
aggressive, but don't depend on drivers to stay in their own lanes.
Nor will they always pay attention to traffic signals or other
drivers.
Note that "left-hand" turns across
traffic are absolutely forbidden. You have to find a way to get to
the other side of the street and then make a "right-hand" turn.
Sometimes this means driving a kilometre or so out of your way and
reversing direction. Sometimes, you'll find cars backing up a
one-way street just so they can "legally" head in the direction
they want to go. Drive defensively at all times.
Always carry your vehicle
registration papers, passport and driver's licence. Also, make sure
that your car's paperwork gives you authorization to drive it. An
international driver's license is valid in Azerbaijan if you stay
in the country for less than 4 months. After that, you'll need to
get a stamp from the traffic police (79 S. Vurgun, tel. 984
002).
If a policeman signals you to pull
over, he'll use a siren or point with a baton. Above all, stay calm
and don't get out of the car. The officer will shake hands with you
first, introduce himself, then ask for your license and car's
documentation. Answer his questions, but don't volunteer
information. Be ready to apologize. The officer may be looking for
a bribe, but will eventually let you go without one. The police's
obscure fines are more often than not, not for the local road fund,
most are open to bribery to counteract their miserable
wages.
Driving under the influence of
alcohol is a very serious offence in Azerbaijan, so make sure that
you have a replacement driver even if you plan to drink only a
small amount of alcohol.
For information on Azerbaijan Rental Car Costs, please see the following document:
Taxi Companies
Most taxis are unmetered. A journey anywhere within the city
centre will cost 15,000 manats, though it is possible to negotiate
much lower fares if you have the patience. Expect to be asked more
if you dont't speak Azeri or Russian. Driving may be a little
adventurous and rear seat belts do not abound.
Taxis do not generally accept foreign currencies. Make sure you
have change before travelling as some drivers may not.
There are only two official taxi companies in Baku, use either the
yellow Star cabs, or the white taxis with blue sign from Azerq
Taxis. Those with blue license plates are officially licensed and
are considered to be safer. You can book taxis by calling 62-15-15
or 62-12-44/7.

Electricity and Power
system: 220 V, 50 Hz, double pins, european plug
(non-continentals should bring adapters)
production: 23,80 billion kWh (2007)
consumption: 27,50 billion kWh (2007)
Power cuts are frequent, even in Baku, where people usually stock a
few candles at home. The production facilities consist of eight
thermal plants supplying 85% of generating capacity, and 6
hydroelectric plants. Two-thirds of the country's thermal capacity
is powered by Mazut (residual fuel oil), with natural gas as the
secondary fuel (2400MWt). The second largest thermal plant is in
Ali Bayramly (1050MWt).
Azerbaijan's power infrastructure, built in the Soviet Period, is
generally in poor condition. Since independence there has been
scarce public investment or maintenance of public infrastructure.
Difficult economic conditions, high taxes and non-payment by
customers left the power sector without sufficient working capital
and investment funds. Over half the country's turbo-generators and
boilers and large sections of the distribution network have been in
use for more than 40 years. Most energy generating and distribution
equipment and parts are imported from Russia and the Ukraine, since
they were originally part of the same system the parts are
compatible and very price-competitive.
Although domestic production surpasses consuption, because of the
country's inefficient distribution network, energy losses amounted
to around 20% of the electricity that was generated. In order to
supply electricity to all parts of the country, Azerbaijan imports
power from Russia, Turkey, Iran, and Georgia, and the country
participates in energy exchanges as well. Apart from
hydroelectric power, renewable energies have no tradition in
Azerbaijan but recently and agreement between Azerenerji and
Sumitomo has been signed for a project for wind energy.

Electricity is supplied at 220V 50Hz with sockets the European
standard CEE-7/7 "Schukostecker" or "Schuko" or the compatible, but
non-grounded, CEE-7/16 "Europlug" types. Generally speaking, US and
Canadian travellers should pack an adapter and tranformer for these
outlets if they plan to use North American electrical equipment in
Azerbaijan.
Additionally, some older buildings may be still equipped with
Soviet-era outlets. The Soviet GOST-7396 standard was very similar
to the current European CEE-7/7 "Schuko plug", but the pins were of
a 4.0 mm diameter, while the Schuko features 4.8 mm pins. As such,
the pins of a Schuko may be too large to fit into a Soviet-era
outlet, although the smaller Europlug will still fit. Although the
Soviet-era outlets have largely been phased out, travellers who are
particularly concerned with having the ability to plug in at all
times may consider packing an adapter for the Soviet-era outlets
too, just in case.
Also, make sure to bring your own automated voltage transformer
because the electricity in Azerbaijan short circuits and "jumps" a
lot and many items may get shocked if you don't bring the
adapter.
Involvement of new private generating enterprises (mini-power
plants) in the electricity sector is minor thus far though
additional investment in new generating capacities and
transmission/distribution operations is a medium term policy
objective.
Although domestic production surpasses consumption, because of the country's inefficient distribution network, energy losses amounted to around 20% of the electricity that was generated. In order to supply electricity to all parts of the country, Azerbaijan imports power from Russia, Turkey, Iran, and Georgia, and the country participates in energy exchanges as well.

Internet Service Providers (ISPs)
High speed internet and IPTV services are provided to subscribers through BTCPA network. At present, 173,169 subscribers connected to the network, use the services of high speed internet through broadband connections (including 88 764 of them use Internet services from BTCPA, 84 405 - other ISPs). Taking into account the increasing demand for online services, the number of ADSL ports in BTCPA network increased to 232,246 units. Of these, 127,568 units (54.9%) are installed by BTCPA, 104 678 units (45.1%) - by other ISPs.Currently, 27.8% of BTCPA subscribers have access to high speed internet through a broadband connection.
The Internet started to develop in Azerbaijan in 1993. The first
Azerbaijani website was created in 1994 by the National Academy of
Sciences of Azerbaijan, and the website of the President of
Azerbaijan Republic, which was founded in 1997, became the first
public Internet resource.
Administration of the national top-level domain AZ has been carried
out since 1993.
From the first days the Internet developed by mainly private
sector. Until 2000, the activities of Internet service providers
(ISP) were conducted under a special permit (license), but in 2000
the licensing of such services was canceled, as a result of this
any natural or legal person in the country is free to engage in the
activity.
Currently, there are about 40 Internet service providers in the
country, of which only three are state agencies (Aztelekomnet,
Bakinternet and Azdatakom).
ISPs operate in a healthy competition and a free market
environment.Companies use wired and wireless communication
technologies for access to the Internet. Application of WiMax and
other wireless technologies are expanded.
Connection of the country to the international Internet network is
provided by two private companies (Delta Telekom and Azertelekom),
which creates an alternative choice for ISPs.
All three mobile operators in the country provide its subscribers
with high speed internet access and provide 3G services. In
general, if we take into account the fact that mobile penetration
in Azerbaijan exceeded 100%, then we can actually say that every
person has access to the Internet.
The broadband access to the Internet in the country started in
2006, and in recent years there has been significant growth in the
number of broadband internet users.
The main reason for this is the result of the execution of public
policies carried out for the development of ICT sector in the
country, the expansion of e-government projects, increasing the
role of the Internet in rendering of services.

3.4 Azerbaijan Telecommunications
Azerbaijan Telecommunications
The Azerbaijan economy has been markedly stronger in recent years and, not surprisingly, the country has been making progress in developing ICT sector. Nonetheless, it still faces problems. These include poor infrastructure and an immature telecom regulatory regime. The Ministry of Communications & Information Technologies (MCIT), as well as being an operator through its role in Aztelekom, is both a policy-maker and regulator. A boom in oil and gas exports has boosted the economy, reducing the country’s dependence on international aid.
