Terminal Tractors with their specially designed trailers are used to safely transport containers from the vessel side to the Container Yard, allowing for an uninterrupted and reliable operation. This brand-new Terminal tractors are computer equipped, and wirelessly connected to the Port’s operating system, supporting real time tracing of container movements.

This latest step of updating Poti Port with state-of-the-art equipment is another example of proactively preparing for the future challenges and aspirations, developing Georgia’s largest port, and providing increased service levels to our clients.
