Logisticoo plans and runs transports to Turkmenistan — one of Central Asia's most demanding destinations, which we serve with realistic transit-time planning, TIR handling and early permit management. The gas-rich country's economy is state-dominated; German exports are chiefly machinery, plant and pipeline technology, and construction and medical equipment for state projects in Ashgabat and the planned city of Arkadag, while textiles and cotton products come back the other way. The preferred route runs via the Middle Corridor: through Turkey, Georgia and Azerbaijan, then by Caspian ferry from Alat to Turkmenbashi and onward to Ashgabat — around 6,000 kilometres, with ferry departures and border clearance setting the pace. Alternatively, we assess the northern route via Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan with entry at Farap. The decisive factor is the paperwork lead time: import permits, consignee registration, transit permits and driver visas take weeks, not days — our project team starts the applications in parallel with the quote. For urgent spare parts, we offer air freight via Frankfurt to Ashgabat as a faster alternative. Honest advice here also means this: if the deadline or the cargo argues against the overland route, we say so before booking — and build an air or combined solution instead, one that holds.
Routes & corridors
The preferred route is the Middle Corridor: Turkey–Georgia–Azerbaijan, then the Caspian ferry from Alat (Baku) to Turkmenbashi and onward to Ashgabat — around 6,000 km. Alternatively, the northern route via Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan with entry at Farap/Turkmenabat, subject to the sanctions and permit situation.
Customs clearance
Turkmenistan is a third country with heavily state-regulated imports: alongside the TIR carnet, commercial invoice, packing list and chamber of commerce certificate of origin, many shipments require import permits or advance registration of the consignee, often a state-owned enterprise. Transit permits and driver visas need lead time and are applied for by us well in advance.

Frequently asked questions: transport Turkmenistan
How long does a transport to Turkmenistan take?
Overland via the Middle Corridor, realistically 16 to 22 days — the Alat–Turkmenbashi Caspian ferry does not run to a fixed schedule, and Turkmen border clearance is thorough. Allow several additional weeks of lead time for permits and driver visas; air freight is feasible in 5 to 7 days door-to-door.
How much does a transport to Turkmenistan cost?
At around 6,000 km plus ferry, TIR and permits, full truckloads have to be priced project by project — as a guide, usually in the range of €9,000 to €13,000. The plain per-kilometre rate (~€1.95/km in European traffic) doesn't apply here; we price openly based on route, cargo and permit workload.
What documents do I need for Turkmenistan?
TIR carnet, ATLAS export declaration, commercial invoice, packing list, CMR and chamber of commerce certificate of origin — plus, depending on the goods, Turkmen import permits and registration of the consignee contract. We check the requirements before loading and apply for transit permits and driver visas early.
