KTZ Express launched a new container train on the TITR route

The container train with transit through Kazakhstan for the first time traveled via Xi'an (China) - Izmit (Turkey) on the Trans-Caspian International Transport Route (TITR).

Train arrived on the territory of the Republic through the border station Altynkol. Then, along the TITR route, the train will proceed to the port of Aktau and will be delivered to the port of Baku by a feeder vessel. After the cargo will be delivered to Turkey through the territories of Azerbaijan and Georgia.

A container train consisting of 41 forty-foot containers with various consumer goods will cover the distance from the departure point to the destination in 16 days.

“1.1 thousand TEU have already been transported in transit via the Trans-Caspian Route in three months of 2020,” says Dmitry Abdullaev, head of KTZ Express JSC.

According to him, the route also provides Kazakhstan exporters with the opportunity to deliver their products to Azerbaijan, Georgia, Turkey, as well as to the ports of the Black and Mediterranean Seas, and the company is continuously working to create favorable tariff conditions and attract volumes to the promising trans-Kazakhstan route.
