KAZAKHSTAN: The national railway’s multimodal logistics subsidiary KTZ Express has tested the movement of double-stacked containers from the Korgas/Altynkol border crossing with China to Zhetigen and back.
The test was undertaken with a view to increasing throughput on the route to reduce logistics costs and speed up deliveries.
KTZ Express worked with terminal operator KTZE-Korgas Gateway, KTZ-Freight Transportation and rolling stock manufacturer Ziksto which provided a wagon adapted for double-stack loading.
- KTZ Express has also launched a service transporting cars in containers to accelerate loading and unloading and to protect them from damage in transit.
