Azerbaijani oil terminal opens

An oil trans-shipment terminal has been officially opened at the Azerbaijani port of Dyubendi on the Caspian coast south of Baku.

The terminal, built at a coast of fourteen-million dollars, will be used to trans-ship oil from Kazakhstan across the Caspian through Azerbaijan to Georgia's Black Sea coast.

Two tankers unloaded six-thousand tonnes of Kazakh crude oil, marking the official opening.
