Transit time reduced from 53 to 18 days
A new dry port has opened in Xi’an, China, and the first container train, having departed from the new Kazakhstan transport and logistics terminal in Xi’an, arrived in Baku, Azerbaijan, last Monday, 11 March 2024, in transit through Kazakhstan along the Trans-Caspian International Transport Route (TITR).
The train covered about 7,000 km in eleven days. On the multimodal route, the containers were reloaded in Kazakhstan twice - at the dry port “KTZE Khorgos Gateway” and the seaport of Aktau, then shipped across the Caspian Sea to the Baku international trade port, and from there to the Absheron station. Previously, goods deliveries from China to the Black Sea ports took 53 days, now – 18 days. (ben)
