Comments: 

The new habour, formerly only Baku, is finished at the location of Alat (Elat) 70 km south from Baku. Ships are only for trucks, busses (our 6m-expedition mobile has been declared as "minibus" ...) and motorbikes, not for travelling passengers without vehicle. The ferry usually seems to arrive at 2 p.m, and tries to leave at 5 p.m. This may be delayed, yesterday it was 7 hours late. The officer told us, that the ships will only start when they are full, this may last three days in unlucky case.

I take the same ship on September 2017.
>> not for travelling passengers without vehicle
There were several backpackers without any transport on the ship, so it's possible to pay 80$ for passenger ticket.

>> The officer told us, that the ships will only start when they are full, this may last three days in unlucky case.
It can be up to 5 days!!! Like it was in our case, so it depends on trucks amount, weather and moon phases of course).

I paid 180$ for motorcycle ship, + 5$ as port fee in Alat.
In Aktau I paid 10$ as port fee and 25$ for insurance which is mandatory.
