Container transport on Trans-Caspian International Transport Route increased by 60% in the first 9 months of 2018, compared to the similar period of 2017.
The TITR members agreed on an increased planned target of 15 thousand TEU by the end of this year.
“A coordinated interaction will contribute to the inclusion of all resources and the effective use of the corridor’s capabilities,” said the Deputy Chairman of the Board for Logistics of NC KTZ, Sanzhar Elyubayev.
Within the Board and the General Meeting of TITR, the issues of mutual responsibility between carriers and operators for the quality of transport services provided are considered. It was decided to approve the time of delivery of goods to improve the competitiveness of the route.
In addition, changes were made to the provision on the empowerment of the Working Group on the development of TITR regarding the formation of tariff rates and the establishment of terms for the delivery of goods along the route.
The Trans-Caspian International Transport Route offers transport links from Southeast Asia and China, through Kazakhstan, the Caspian Sea, Azerbaijan, Georgia and further to European countries, through Constanta Port.
In April 2016, an agreement was signed on the establishment of the International Trans-Caspian Transport Consortium, which included KTZ Express, ADY Express, GR Logistics & Terminals, Azerbaijan Caspian Shipping Company and ADY Container.
This year, Turkish State Railways, TCDD Taşımacılık, was accepted as a Regular member of the Association. In September, Grampet Group, the largest Romanian private railway freight operator, and one of the largest operators in South-East Europe, signed an agreement as an associate member.
