A supplier ships goods to Almaty – but Kazakhstan has no sea access and must route every container across third-country territory and through multiple borders. Freight corridors for landlocked countries address exactly this constraint: multimodal transport routes, defined multilaterally or by bilateral agreement, that link rail, road, and inland waterway networks into continuous logistics chains and incorporate standardised customs checkpoints. Dry ports, container terminals, and freight yards serve as the critical nodes where transhipment, clearance, and onward transport are coordinated. For the roughly fifty landlocked nations worldwide, these corridors are a prerequisite for competitive participation in global trade.
