In August this year the first train Nomad Express, which consists of 82 containers, proceeded from China to Europe via the Trans-Caspian international transport route. The shipping container train from China to the port of Alat took only 6 days.
JSC Azerbaijan Caspian Shipping Company in November held a presentation of the Trans-Caspian international transport routes in Chongqing (China), Kiev, Istanbul and Klaipeda (Lithuania). The possibility of using this route for freight transport in Europe was also discussed by the delegation of CJSC Azerbaijani Railways headed by Chairman Javid Gurbanov during his visit to Beijing in late November. ---08D
