Georgia on the ground
Corridors we will walk
We take work we can stand in. If your goods only exist as a row in a distant ledger, this is not our corridor.
The container yard we visit most. Weekend gates and missing truck hours show up here first.
A mixed quay: reefers, break-bulk, and the road toward Tbilisi that drivers treat as shorter than it is.
Cages, bonded rooms, and dry stores within a morning of Marjanishvili.
Land posts we walk before a first load. We stop on the Georgian side.
What “walking a corridor” means here
It means a named stretch of Georgia — a port yard, a warehouse, a land post — where a host can open a door and a truck actually stops. Resolverflowgrid will draw that stretch, time the handoffs we can witness, and tell you where the papers part from the ground.
It does not mean a diagram of the whole Caucasus, the Middle Corridor as a political idea, or a list of every customs code that might apply to hazelnuts. Those belong in other rooms.
Poti and the hours that go missing
Poti is where many of our assessments begin, even when the client’s office is in Tbilisi. Dwell is not one number. It is a pile that sat through a Friday, a gate photo with no matching bill, a truck that was “on the way” in three messages and in none of the lanes. Giorgi still knows which files the yard will produce quickly and which ones take a host with patience.
If your only question is the terminal’s published average, save the fee. If you need a family of boxes placed on a drawing with times you can argue about, ask for port dwell mapping.
Batumi’s shorter-looking road
Batumi is not a smaller Poti. The quay mixes cargo in ways that make a single “container story” untrue. Reefers bound for a Kakheti-road cold store do not behave like steel. The drive toward Tbilisi looks tidy on a wall map and grows once a driver hits the hours the post actually keeps. We walk this when the host can stand with us at the quay, not when the only contact is an email from another country.
Stores you can reach from Marjanishvili
Most inventory briefings happen within a morning of the office: Tbilisi cages, Rustavi dry stores, the occasional bonded room. Nino will not invent a layout. If your “warehouse” is three rooms with one lock, the map will show three rooms. That is often the entire finding.
Land posts, and where we stop
Sadakhlo and Sarpi are the land corridors we will take a van to. We prepare on paper the day before: hours, weighbridge habits, documents a driver is usually asked for. We do not cross with you. Permits, brokers, and the other country’s post are yours. A walkthrough is a way not to learn the Georgian side on the morning of the first load.
We do not currently take corridor days to every Georgian post. If your stretch is not named here, write anyway; we will say no quickly when the drive and the access are not work we can stand in.
How this sits with an assessment
A visibility assessment may include one of these stretches as the agreed corridor. A corridor walkthrough is the right ask when there is no stock picture yet — only a first truck. If you already lost a week to a quiet consignment, start with delay tracing instead of a geography lesson.
If your goods move along one of these lines
Tell us the warehouse, the yard, or the border. We will say whether we can walk it.
