These terminals are equipped with appropriate cranes, which facilitates the timely and quality processing of cargo and meet the requirements of the port's customers.

In the formation of the current global economic network in the second half of the 19th century, the above advantages led to the fact that the port of Batumi received the status of "Porto-Franco" (freeport) from 1878 to 1885.

In his book, The Prize, Daniel Yergin, president of the Cambridge Energy Research Associates, notes that because of the port's geostrategic location and advantages, oil was first shipped from the Batumi port in August 1892 via the Murex tanker, which was also the first tanker.

The authors of this project were such prominent personalities as Nobel, Rothschild, Samuel (founder of the firm "Shell"), Mantashev and others.

The port is connected to the countries of the Caucasus, Central Asia, Russia and Turkey by road and rail.
