Azerbaijan, Baku, 24 April / corr. Trend S. Aliyeva/ The Azerbaijan State Caspian Shipping Company plans to purchase another train ferry, the Company said.
At the end of 2007, the Company purchased one train ferry capable of carrying 53 carriages simultaneously which is twice as long as the other ferries in the Company.
The 53 carriages will ensure that the train is not divided into parts when traveling from the east shore of the Caspian which will contribute to the economic efficiency of the rail freight.
The new train ferry will be used on the TRACECA route in the Caspian Sea and will contribute to the development of the Baku-Tbilisi-Gars railway.
