The railway companies of Kazakhstan, Turkmenistan and Iran have agreed to establish competitive tariff conditions for the new international railway line Uzen – Bolashak – Serhetyaka – Akyayla – Incheburun, Kazinform reports.
The parties have reached an agreement on establishing from October 15, 2015 uniform rates across Kazakhstan, Turkmenistan and Iran for container trains running from China to Iran. This measure will help to attract maritime freight traffic and increase attractiveness of land transcontinental corridors.
The sides have also agreed preferential tariff conditions in the territories of the parties for transportation of grain, ferrous metals, aluminum and ferroalloys from Kazakhstan to Iran and further to the port of Bandar Abbas.
The preferential tariff conditions will help Kazakhstan’s export to develop new markets in India and the Gulf countries, the press service of Kazakhstan Temir Zholy reported.
