General cargo operations saw even faster growth. The terminal processed 200,768 tons of general cargo during the reporting period, a 24% increase over the 161,179 tons handled in the same timeframe last year.

Ferry cargo volumes reflected positive momentum as well, with car containers up 12% year-on-year. By the end of September, the port had processed 14,914 car containers, compared to 14,461 in 2024.

While the total number of vehicles processed remained relatively stable at 58,342 units, slightly down from 58,511 last year, the strong performance in containerized and general cargo underlines the port’s growing importance in regional trade and logistics.

The sustained growth across key cargo categories reflects ongoing investments and operational efficiencies at APM Terminals Poti, reinforcing its strategic role in facilitating trade across the South Caucasus and beyond.
