Consolidation of cargo here from various provinces of China has optimized logistics processes and provided high transportation indicators. This became possible due to the close-knit work of NC Kazakhstan Temir Zholy JSC with the railway and port administrations of China, Azerbaijan and other TITR participants.

At the moment, the volume of transportation from China along the TITR has exceeded 27,000 containers in twenty-foot equivalent, which is 25 times more than in the same period last year.
