Semurg Invest

What Semurg Invest does

Semurg Invest LLP (ТОО «SEMURG INVEST») is a privately held Kazakhstani development and investment holding company that centralizes financial flows to develop and operate port and logistics infrastructure primarily in the Mangystau Region of Kazakhstan. Founded in 2008 and headquartered in Almaty, the holding consolidates four operating subsidiaries: Khazar Petroleum Logistics (freight forwarding established 2017 as a JV with Logistic Resurs LLP), SemArco LLP (engineering, construction and dredging JV with Archirodon NV established 2014), Sarzha Transport and Logistics Center at Kuryk Port (warehousing, customs clearance, dry and climate-controlled storage on an 18-hectare footprint), and Sarzha Multifunctional Marine Terminal (a Caspian Sea ferry and cargo complex with planned capacity of 13.9 million tons per year, targeted for 2025 completion). Service lines also include long-term premium vehicle rental with drivers and former projects in bottled water (NURSU), LPG processing, shell stone mining, railway feasibility design, and Aktau Class A office development, several of which have been divested.

Revenue is generated through B2B infrastructure project development, contract-based construction services (SemArco capable of projects up to $500M independently and up to $2B in consortium), port and terminal transaction fees, freight forwarding commissions, warehousing and customs services, and recurring vehicle leasing. The go-to-market motion is enterprise field sales: the holding engages directly with oil and gas majors (notably Tengizchevroil), government entities including regional akimats, and international transport corridor partners such as NC KTZ JSC, KTZ Express, PwC, Baku Port, and Anaklia Port. Certifications include ISO 9001:2015, OHSAS 18001:2007, and ISO 14001:2004.

The operating model emphasizes geographic concentration at Kuryk Port on the Caspian Sea, providing an integrated chain of dredging, construction, logistics, marine terminal, and freight capabilities designed to monetize East-West and North-South international transit corridor volumes alongside the Tengiz and Mangystau oil and gas industrial cluster.
