The modern port of Turkmenbashi plays an important role in the development of Turkmenistan's oil refining industry and in ensuring the operation of the Turkmenbashi Oil Refinery Complex (TOPC). This was reported by the IIC.

As part of the expansion of the production and logistics infrastructure at the TOPC, a new berth No. 3 of the ‘Kenar’ enterprise has been put into operation, designed to load more than 2 million tonnes and unload more than 1 million tonnes of oil and oil products per year.

The berth is equipped with modern automated equipment, safety and fire protection systems, which increases the reliability and efficiency of operations and contributes to the diversification of the country's export routes.

The launch of the facility creates additional conditions for increasing processing volumes and consistent supplies of petroleum products to domestic and foreign markets.
