The role of port in the corridor

The aim of the paper is to analyze how important is the role of port in the corridor. The analysis is based on an example of Port of Baku, which was located on the international trade route since ancient times. But not only the good location of the port, but also a well-developed hinterland contributes and highlights the performance of the port. The role of Port of Baku in TRACECA was examined through the separate analysis of a port, its hinterland infrastructure and a corridor. The results have shown that ports in Azerbaijan are of a great importance for the development of the trade in the corridor.
