Capacity and Contacts for In-Country Emergency Response
Depending on the type, nature and location of a potential emergency situation, the Ministry of
Defence could grand permission for the use of some of its – limited – assets. This would be
mainly limited to some all terrain trucking capacity and possibly some light air transport
(helicopters and fixed wing aircraft).

2.3 Georgia Regulatory Departments
The 3 testing laboratories visited by the consultant are engaged in chemical and physical
testing of food products (in most cases, wine and mineral water). The first one, Multitest Ltd
Laboratory, is a private laboratory, quite well equipped and with very convenient premises. It
has some relationship with the Exporters Association. Most of its personnel seem to be very
qualified and experienced. The laboratory has initial plans to enlarge its activities to a
microbiological analysis. The management of the laboratory has expressed interest in initiation
of activities to implement a quality management system and eventually become accredited
according to ISO 17025.
The second laboratory, Wine Laboratory, is accountable to the Wine Quality Foundation
established by wine producers and the State (represented by the Ministry of Agriculture);
therefore, its independence from political and corporative sector raises certain concerns. Its
Georgia
Version 12 16
activities have been supported by GTZ (Germany). The laboratory is quite well equipped; the
technical staff is young, but has received the appropriate training, both in Georgia and
Germany. The German specialists come on a regular basis to give further hands-on training.
The Laboratory has a microbiology section but the consultant was not able to visit it. Its Director
has signaled that he was not interested either in additional technical support as the GTZ project
is covering their needs or accreditation according to international standards at this stage. The
third laboratory is Norma Laboratory. It is a private laboratory that has been developed with
many efforts, but it needs a general rehabilitation in equipment, technical staff and premises.
The owner has shown his willingness to upgrade the present facilities and introduce ISO/IEC
17025, but he lacks the necessary funds to carry on such upgrading.

to - LOA of vessel, breadth and moulded depth. Barges and other floating objects combination
volumes are determined as sum of separate elements. All charges for services should be paid
by forwarder (ship-owner, freighter) or by vessel agent before any vessel leaves from port.
In the case of non-payment of service tariffs and fines, the Port Administration Office will
provide written notice and the Harbour Master who is permitted to refuse permission for the
vessel to leave the port. Lighter ships, which carry out loading operations on internal and
external roadstead, pay tariffs according to the lighter volume, which will be given at time of
vessel call in port and will receive at time of leaving the port.
Services which are conducted during holidays incur a 25% surcharge for every vessel. Holidays
are defined according to the labour law of Georgia. All kinds of service should be in detail
decoded in the bill presented to ship-owner, included service carried out during the holidays.
For the calculation of service fees, times rounded-up for each 30 minutes. Therefore, less than
30 minutes will be counted as half an hour and more than 30 minutes will be charged as 1
hour. Payment of tonnage, channel, berthing, sanitary inspection service and watchman tariffs
are carried out once and will be paid per operation, by which a vessel arrived to the port.

Georgia
Version 12 32
Key port information can also be found at : Maritime Database information on Georgia
Port Overview
The Port of Batumi is only 15 km from the border with Turkey in the Autonomous Republic of
Adjara. The port has 12 berths, four of which can be used for the unloading cereal cargo, either
in bulk or in bags. The port has gradually specialised itself in the export of petroleum products
that reach Batumi from Azerbaijan by rail and pipeline. The Port of Batumi serves as an
alternative to the Port of Poti, but is less well served by the Georgian railways which has only a
single rail serving as railway link for the port/quays. The freight costs from Batumi are also
higher than those from Poti. Batumi faces the same weather constraints as Poti, i.e. wind and
rain in autumn that can affect to some extend the entrance of vessels in the port.

Port Performance
Bagged cargo is discharged at a maximum rate of 1,000 mt for two hatches per day. In reality,
often lower rates are achieved – especially a result of the delays obtained by waiting for railway
wagons. Bulk cargo is discharged at some 2,000 mt for two hatches, again facing the same
constraints. Containers can be discharged in Batumi, but with quite a lot of effort, as no facilities
are available and the vessel’s cranes have to be used in combination with the shore cranes
(which are not in optimum condition). There is no specialised container terminal in the
port. Cereal cargo – and other bagged cargo – is normally discharged directly into railway
wagons, as the –open – storage space in the port is limited. There is no functional covered
storage space inside the port complex.

4.1 Georgia Government Contact List (see page 65)
The condition of the highways in Georgia is reasonably good. When road conditions are poor
on the major roads, four wheel drive vehicles are advisable. Especially during winter snow, fog
and ice can be a problem in the mountainous parts of the country. In mountainous regions the
roads can be narrow and slopes are sometimes steep, which in combination with bad
conditions can limit the cargo that can be transported, this however is only the case in specific
regions like Lechkhumi, Upper Swaneti, mountainous part of Racha and Imereti
There is sufficient transport capacity in the country, which consists mainly Soviet built trucks
(Gaz, Kamaz, Ural, Maz) including 4x4 and 6x6 wheel drive trucks with capacity varying from
10 mt to more than 30 mt. The highways can easily handle these large trucks including trailers.
Georgia
Version 12 46
On specific mountain roads the capacity is limited to about 10 mt or less depending on the
slope and road conditions. During the winter period, mountainous roads can be subjected to fog
and snow, making them difficult to negotiate. The spring rains and/or melting snow can make
minor mountain road covered by mud.
The main road transport route through Georgia runs from the border with Turkey in Sarpi along
the coast to Ureki (S-2), from where it cuts eastwards via Samtredia (S-12), Kutaisi (S-1),
Zestaphoni, Khasuri and Gori to Tbilisi. Beyond Tbilisi the highway splits in a route along
Rustavi (S-9 and S-4) to the border with Azerbaidjan and another to the border with Armenia (S-
6 and S-7). Another highway route goes from Tbilisi to the Kaheti region (S-5). The “Military
Highway” (S-3) goes north from Tbilisi up the Kazbegi pass where it crosses into Russia. Due
to the existing political and security situation, the Roki tunnel (S-10) in South-Ossetia and the
border crossing point in Leselidze in Abkhzia (S-1) are not accessible for regular road transport
originating from Georgia proper. Another secondary highway route runs along the Turkish
border from Sarpi to Akhaltsikhe, from where it joins the Kutaisi – Tbilisi highway via Borjomi at
Khasuri. The main border crossing with Turkey is in Sarpi at the Black Sea coast. A less
frequently used, but still important border crossing point with Turkey is Vale, a few kilometers
from Akhaltiskhe. The main border crossings with Armenia are at Sadakhlo and Mughalo.
Trucks coming from Turkey in Vale tend to use the short cut into Armenia via Akhakalaki and
Ninotsminda (S-11)
All these highways – with the exception of those crossing mountain passes (S-3 and S-5 and
the route from Sarpi along the Turkish border) – can be used by large trucks with 20 mt – or
more – capacity all through the year. There is no toll levying on the highways, though foreign
registered vehicles need to pay a kind of road tax when entering the country. The S-1 highway
has a tunnel – with alternative mountain trail – between Zestaphoni and Khashuri for which a
small toll fee is levied. All river crossings are by means of bridges, not ferries.

3.5 Georgia Railway Assessment
Georgia Railways
Georgian Railway LLC (GR) intends to improve the safety and efficiency of their railway
operations by constructing a new section of railway track bypassing the central part of Tbilisi
and upgrading the existing stations of Didube and Navtlughi. GR has approached the European
Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) and the European Investment Bank (EIB) to
finance the Tbilisi Railway Bypass project.
According to Georgian law, the potential environmental impacts of the project must be
evaluated by an Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) process and documented in an
environmental impact statement. As part of their decision-making process, EBRD and EIB
require an evaluation of the proposed project through an Environmental and Social Impact
Assessment (ESIA) that meets EBRD and some other international guidelines. The
development of both, the Georgian EIA and EBRD’s ESIA are being consolidated into one
process and documented in this single report.
The railroad is the main mode of transport for cargo that arrives in Georgia through the ports of
Poti and Batumi. The Georgian railroad also serves the two other landlocked south Caucasus
countries of Armenia and Azerbaijan. There is also a link with the Russian Federation that runs
through the rebellious region of Abkhazia and which therefore is in disuse
Georgia
Version 12 49
From the coast the railroad travels through West Georgia via the town of Kutaisi, through the
mountains, to Tbilisi. From here it travels further to Yerevan in Armenia and Baku in
Azerbaijan. There are also a number of minor lines servicing the major towns of the different
regions in Georgia. The freight transportation maximum in Caucasus (Georgia and Armenia)
was in 1985 and reached 63.1 million mt
However, after disintegration of a former USSR economical links were broken up and freight
transportation fell down to 4.6 million mt by 1995 but in the following years the volume moved
increased
Specific gravity of Georgian railway in every kind of the freight transportation is about 90%.
Existing technical equipment makes possible Georgian railway to transit 25-30 million mt of
cargo per year. Within the Georgian setting the railways can be considered as one of the few
(semi-) Government systems that operate quite efficiently. This is among others the result of
the realization that due to its strategic position relative to the two other Southern Caucasus
countries, it has a major role as transit country with the nearest port. In addition, construction of
the new link connecting Azeri and Georgian railway systems to turkey has been agreed
between the 3 countries but construction has not started yet due to tender announcement

3.6 Georgia Waterways Assessment
Georgia Waterways
The longest rivers in Georgia are:
1. Alazani – 390 km in length with a catchment basin of 12,000 km²
2. Kura – 351 km in length with a catchment basin of 21,100 km²
3. Rioni – 333 km in length with a catchment basin of 13,400 km²
4. Enguri – 206 km in length with a catchment basin of 4,100 km²
The biggest lakes in Georgia are:
1. Paravan – with a surface area of 37.5 km³
2. Kartsakhi – with a surface area of 26.3 km³
Waterways of Georgia
Water supply in the country is on the average level and a safe drinking water supply is the key
component of the general objective to ensure the environmental safety and health of people in
Georgia. At present, all 85 cities and districts of Georgia are provided with centralized water
systems. There are a total of 156 major water intakes. Drinking water is mainly withdrawn from
the ground sources. A total design capacity of the ground drinking water sources is 3.1 million
Georgia
Version 12 51
m³ a day. Waste water discharge systems operate in 41 cities and districts, 30 of which have
waste water treatment plants of total design capacity equal to 1.6 million m³ a day (including
regional treatment facilities in Gardabansky District with a capacity of 1.0 million. m³ a day,
which serve Tbilisi and Rustavi). The total length of waterways and water distribution networks
in Georgia is 9,500 km and a length of wastewater networks and sewers is 4,000 km
3.7 Georgia Storage Assessment
During the Soviet days warehouses were set up in all major urban centres of Georgia. With the
collapse of the Soviet Union, much of the infrastructure has become dysfunctional. Many of
these warehouses have access to the railroad. Every major town along the railroad network
has warehouses with railway access. Should warehousing capacity still be short, one could
look into a number of the factory buildings that are no longer in use. Some improvements
(cleaning, removal of hardware, installing of security devises etc.) will be necessary, but it
should be cheaper than importing mobile storage units, such as Wiikhalls, and the like. As a
result of the industrial past of the country during the Soviet days and the high unemployment
rate, it is not difficult to find skilled labourers. Warehouse management staff and logisticians
generally need some training, but with the gradual increasing activities of a number of Western
Joint Venture companies, skilled staff becomes more available.

All main milling listed below were constructed during the Soviet time. Specifications and
requirement of these mills were according to ex-Soviet standards. All mills have railway sidings
for delivery of wheat grain from the port. Most of them are partly operational. due to old age of
milling machinery, low demand and uncompetitive milling cost compared to newly constructed
small capacity mills these factories never reach their maximum milling capacities

4.4.1 Electricity and Power
Hydro resources take the first place among the natural riches of Georgia as there are 26,000
rivers with total length is approximately 60,000 km. The Ministry of Energy of Georgia is
considering the effective utilization of the country's major energy potential, hydro-power
resources and the construction of small, medium and large hydro power stations, like the ones
on the river. The priority of the country is also the utilization of ecologically pure energy
resources - alternative, renewable, wind and solar energies, geothermal waters, bio-gases and
etc. Georgia has an important wind energy potential of approximately 4 billion KWh per
year. The total annual potential of solar energy in Georgia is 108 MW, which equals to 34,000
tons of fuel. Due to its geographic location, the radiation of the sun in Georgia is quite high. In
most regions of the country there are 250 – 280 sunny days in a year which is approximately
1,900 – 2,200 hours per year.
