Introduction

In October 2023, Kazakhstan Temir Zholy (KTZ) announced its intention to increase the volume of container transportation on the China-Europe route by 20% in 2024. This initiative aims to capitalize on the growing demand for freight transit through Kazakhstan.

Increased Transportation Volume

KTZ plans to transport over 1.7 million containers, measured in twenty-foot equivalent units (TEUs), in 2024. This represents a significant increase from the 1.4 million TEUs transported in 2023. The company expects the increase to be driven by enhanced efficiency and expanded infrastructure along the transit routes.

Infrastructure and Route Development

A key focus for KTZ is the development of the Trans-Caspian International Transport Route (TITR), also known as the Middle Corridor. This route is crucial for transporting goods between China and Europe, avoiding traditional routes. The Aktau and Kuryk ports on the Caspian Sea are vital components of this corridor. Investments in these ports are ongoing to increase their capacity and streamline operations.

Strategic Partnerships and Regional Cooperation

KTZ is actively working with partners in neighboring countries, including Uzbekistan, to facilitate smoother transit. These partnerships are crucial for coordinating logistics and ensuring the efficient movement of goods. The company also aims to strengthen its collaboration with China Railways and other international railway operators to optimize the entire transportation chain.
