Competition of Maritime and Iron Silk Road within the Scope of Belt and Road Initiative

Summary/Abstract: The Belt and Road Initiative, with the first train reaching Europe from China by passing through Turkey, has increased debate about the effects of the Iron Silk Road and sea transport on Turkey. Setting out from this point, this study aims to compare the current capacities of Iron Silk Road with Maritime Silk Road through container transportation and its expected capacity in the future. This study also aims to summarize the sea and rail routes that are currently used or expected to be used in the scope of the Belt and Road Initiative, the narrow passes on these routes and the difficulties experienced in terms of transportation. In addition, China's military and economic attitude, especially around the narrow passes of sea, will also be examined.
