AD Ports Group and SEMURG Partner on Kuryk Port Grain Terminal

AD Ports Group has signed a Foundation Agreement with SEMURG INVEST LLP, developer of the Sarzha Marine Terminal at Kuryk Port, Kazakhstan. The partnership, Sarzha Grain Terminal, is set to transform grain trade in the region.

Under the agreement, AD Ports Group holds a 51% stake, while SEMURG owns 49%. Phase one construction of the greenfield grain terminal is underway, with an initial annual capacity of 570,000 tons. Upon completing phase two, capacity will increase to 1.5 million tons annually. The project, valued at over $50 million, will see AD Ports Group invest approximately $30 million.

The terminal, scheduled for phase one completion in late 2026, will boost Kazakhstan’s connectivity via the Transcaspian International Transport Route, linking Central Asia to Europe.

“This partnership aligns with our Middle Corridor strategy and commitment to global food security,” said Abdulaziz Zayed Al-Shamsi, Regional CEO of AD Ports Group. Nurzhan Marabayev, General Director of SEMURG INVEST, highlighted the project’s role in diversifying Kazakhstan’s export routes and enhancing the region’s economy.
