By Huseyn Hasanov – Trend:

Construction of a terminal for receiving, storing and shipping oil products near the Turkmen-Afghan border has entered its final stage, Neutral Turkmenistan newspaper reports.

Turkmen President Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedov reviewed the facility during his visit to Lebap region of the country.

Berdimuhamedov noted the importance of creating logistics terminals in order to effectively control the movement of goods and vehicles across the customs borders.

Provision of services on the “single window” principle, including the storage, clearance, warehousing, packaging, labeling and delivery of goods will minimize the time and money spent for the goods to pass customs borders.

The terminal being built by the Turkmennebitgazgurlushyk State Concern since 2013, consists of two blocks. One of them is designed for delivery of oil products by rail and the other one is designed to deliver oil products via the main pipeline.

The facility, with a throughput capacity of 540,000 tons, is being built in order to export five types of oil products.
