01:30Cargo volumes through Kazakhstan jumped from 800,000 tons in 2021 to 4.5 million last year with the goal of reaching 10 million tons by 2028.
01:41Joining us now to discuss the developments along the China-Europe route is Sajan Uzbekow,
01:46Deputy Director of the Transport Policy Department at Kazakhstan's Ministry of Transport.
01:50Mr. Uzbekow, welcome to the program.
01:54Здравствуйте. Спасибо большое за приглашение.
01:56How much investment has gone into railroad and maritime infrastructure, and how is it helping improve the middle corridor's capacity?
02:03На сегодняшний день ведется работа по модернизации именно тема портовых мощностей.
02:09Это в текущем году, вот буквально две недели назад, был введен в эксплуатацию контейнерный хаб совместно с китайскими компаниями по порту Ахтал.
02:17Завершено строительство зернового терминала в порту Круг, а также ведется модернизация железнодорожных участков, которые идут вдоль среднего коридора.
02:28Общая стоимость порядка 4 миллиардов долларов.
02:32What specific steps is Kazakhstan taking to address the current bottlenecks?
02:37Для исключения узких мест, нами ведется работа по модернизации лимитирующих участков и в сфере железной дороги, и автомобильных дорог.
02:46Начата проработка проектов именно в сфере железной дороги по модернизации участков.
02:51Сумма инвестиций 1 миллион долларов.
02:52Для развития автомобильных дорог на сегодняшний день завершается развитие коридора Западной Европы, Западной Китай.
02:59Начата проработка новой автомобильной дороги.
03:03Сумма инвестиций порядка 1 миллиона долларов.
03:06В целом на развитие автомобильных дорог предусмотрено 3 миллиарда долларов.
03:11So talk to us about Kazakhstan's throughput capacity via the Caspian Sea.
03:15What potential do you see there?
03:16При Каспийские порты у нас, конечно, это в первую очередь Ахтал и Круг.
03:20Пропускная способность этих портов составляет 22 миллиона тонн в год.
03:25Для развития мощностей в прошлом году завершили дноуглубления акватории порта Курок.
03:31В текущем году планируется аналогичная работа в порту Ахтал.
03:35Дальше наращиваем флот отечественную.
03:39Планируется в ближайшей перспективе 6 сухогруза и 2 парома.
03:43Это позволит в целом нарастить объемы транскаспийского международного транспортного маршрута.
03:50Мистер Збеков, thanks for being with us today.
03:52И вам спасибо большое.
03:53Казахстан и Булгария are also aligning strategies,
03:58planning to link the ports of Burgas and Varna to the middle corridor.
04:02Meanwhile, Казахстан has opened a new logistics terminal in Georgia's Black Sea port of Poti,
04:07a joint project with local and Azerbaijani partners,
04:10with a processing capacity of up to 200,000 containers.
04:14It's a key connection to the Black Sea.
04:16Казахстан is also expanding its own port infrastructure.
04:19Let's take a closer look.
04:20АКТАО is now home to the largest container hub on the Caspian Sea.
04:26Its capacity could reach 240,000 standard containers per year,
04:30helping meet growing cargo demand between Europe and China.
04:33The container hub in АКТАО will be equipped with more advanced technologies.
04:38We will be using a terminal operating system that will enhance the efficiency of the hub.
04:44Latest technologies like RMG crane, the latest ZPMC model that will be more efficient in terms of handling and loading and unloading the cargo coming from China to Caspian Sea.
04:59KJZ Express, a subsidiary of Kazakhstan Railways, is leading the project as multi-modal operator of the Trans-Caspian Route,
05:05providing rail links, port infrastructure and digital solutions.
05:08We have launched the project called TESS Customs.
05:13It helps the cargo to get the clearance at the customs when the cargo arrives to the border stations.
05:21And we decrease the time from 8 hours to 30 minutes.
05:24The company now plans to expand further with new terminals in Azerbaijan, Georgia and Hungary,
05:29completing the logistics chain and simplifying access to European markets.
05:33A core EU focus is digitization to streamline border checks, customs and logistics.
05:40Digital freight documents, tracking systems and improved data exchange are all in the works.
05:46Here to speak to us about the attractiveness for business of the Trans-Caspian Transport Corridor is Gajdar Avdikarimov,
05:52expert consultant on transport corridors at the Asian Development Bank.
05:56He is also a fellow of the Chartered Institute of Logistics and Transport.
06:01Mr. Avdikarimov, welcome.
06:03Great to have you with us.
06:04Good morning. Thank you for inviting me.
06:06At full operational efficiency, how economically attractive could the Trans-Caspian Transport Network become?
06:13The digitization of this route will improve the speed of providing services.
06:18For example, we have a Global DTC company,
06:21which is a company that is integrated between the Chinese and the Kazakhstan borders.
06:25and the KTJ Express, the KTJ Express, the KTJ Express, the KTJ Express, the KTJ Express Committee.
06:32And from 4 hours to 20 minutes, we have a process of filling a container with a container with a container.
06:39How are you helping simplify the cross-border formalities and how will that help with the regional coordination across the Central Asian states?
06:46As you know, on the Trans-Caspian international transport course, there are several transport rights.
06:51If a couple of transport rights are paralleled and connected, we lose a lot of time.
06:59To harmonize this process, we need a digitization.
07:04And of course, the right field should be brought to the same symbol.
