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 within TRACECA-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.
