Freight capacity 5 mill. ton/ year

Operation 2016

After completion of this project Zamyn‐Uud border point’s freight turnover will increase 80 percent, transportation delay time or congestion will decrease 50 percent  in 2018  comparing  with in 2009.

Major challenges in cross border and transit railway

• Gauge difference – 1520 and 1435mm • Cost of tariffs • Length of documentation• Railway transit period for passing through Mongolia• Customs and rolling stock sealing • Development of multimodal transportation modes and logistics centers• Coal transportation through the cross border

- Frequency of freight transshipment at the border- Environmental damages- Time consuming- Expensive for vehicle transportation

• Lack of capacity, track, site and efficiency of technology at the transshipment center and stations

• Freight interlock affects development of stations, freight terminals and operation of logisitcs companies

Ministry of Roads and Transportation

Further actions needed: 

• Interconnection of customs

• Introduction of common standard/system for freight entry

declaration

• Real time information

• Flexible tariffs /apply potentially domestic tariff for regional

transit, especially through China, Mongolia and Russia/

• Agree with Border cross technology for certain distance and

transport modes with common interested conditions

Ministry of Roads and Transportation

Thank you for attention.
