History


The Ministry was established on August 5, 1998 by the Presidential Decree No. 743. The statute of the Ministry was approved by the President Heydar Aliyev on June 10, 2003. According to the Ministry charter, it is responsible for organization and implementation of state policies in the state railway, water, air and automobile transportation sector.[2] On February 13, 2017 the Ministry was absorbed into the newly founded Ministry of Transport, Communications and High Technologies.[3]



Structure


The Ministry was headed by the Minister of Transport, aided by two deputies. Its main functions were the regulation of activities in the transportation sector of Azerbaijan consisting of transportation activities of entities by railway, water, automobile, air; shipping and expedition activities; design, projection and construction of roads, repairs and maintenance of roads; technical maintenance of hydrotechnical equipment in maritime transportation; preparation of human resources and implementation of scientific research; cooperation with transportation ministries in other countries for joint projects.[4]



Projects


The ministry was involved in big international projects such as TRACECA for revitalization of the Ancient Silk Way or the Kars-Tbilisi-Baku railway. Almost all transport projects within Azerbaijan except for oil and gas pipelines such as Baku-Tbilisi-Ceyhan were regulated by the Ministry of Transport.[5]High economic growth in Azerbaijan in the recent years triggered many construction projects including repairs and construction of new roads throughout the country. In 2004, 46 km road between Ələt and Qazıməmməd was built, 6 new overpass bridges were built in Gabala, Tovuz, Gadabay, Ujar, Quba and Biləcəri, 290 km and 178 km of existing roads, 3 bridges were extensively repaired. Several sections of major interstate roads such as 508 km long Baku-Ələt-Qazakh highway, 85 km long Qazıməmməd-Kurdamir, 188 km long Kurdamir-Ucar-Yevlakh-Ganja were rebuilt according to international standards.[4] In late 2009, the ministry signed a protocol with the Korean International Cooperation Agency for the feasibility study for Baku Bay Sea Bridge Project. The projected bridge will connect Shykh with Zığ settlement stretching over Bay of Baku for 14.5 km.[6] Transport Minister Ziya Mammadov and President of Stadler Rail Group Peter Spuhler informed the President that Swiss Stadler Rail Group and Azerbaijan-based Railway International Distribution LLC signed a contract on establishment of joint venture for wagon-assembling.[7]

For other uses, see Quarantine (disambiguation). Signal flag "Lima" called the "Yellow Jack" which when flown in harbor means ship is under quarantine. A simple yellow flag (also called the "Yellow Jack") had historically been used to signal quarantine (it stands for Q among signal flags), but now indicates the opposite, as a signal of a ship free of disease that requests boarding and inspection. A quarantine is used to separate and restrict the movement of people; it is 'a restraint upon the activities or communication of persons or the transport of goods designed to prevent the spread of disease or pests', for a certain period of time. [1] This is often used in connection to disease and illness, such as those who may possibly have been exposed to a communicable disease.
