Situated directly on the border with Ukraine, the Euroterminals Chełm and Dorohusk serve as natural gateways to the so-called Middle Corridor (Trans-Caspian Route) – an alternative trade route linking China with Western Europe via Kazakhstan, the Caspian Sea, Azerbaijan, Georgia, and Turkey.

The location of these ports along the Middle Corridor unlocks a range of strategic advantages:

• Reduces reliance on transit routes through Russia and Belarus, significantly enhancing the stability and resilience of supply chains;
• Enables competitive transit times – current analyses indicate shipment durations of approximately 14 to 18 days, comparable to the Northern Corridor but without the risks associated with it;
• Benefits from EU-backed initiatives, such as the Global Gateway program, which allocates approximately €10 billion to enhance the capacity and efficiency of this route;
• Strengthens Poland’s role as a key logistics hub, facilitating seamless modal shifts between maritime and overland transport, and opening access to new markets across Central Asia and the Caucasus region.

This positions the Euroterminals Chełm and Dorohusk as critical transshipment and distribution nodes along the New Silk Road, reinforcing Poland’s geostrategic position within European and global supply chains.
