The Permanent Secretariat of the Intergovernmental Commission (PS IGC) TRACECA presented the concept of development of rail container traffic until 2030 to the organization’s member countries, Secretary-General of the PS IGC TRACECA Asset Asavbayev said, Trend reports.

Asavbayev made the statement during an online session entitled ‘Increasing the competitiveness of international rail transport within TRACECA’, organized by the permanent secretariat.

According to Asavbayev, the concept includes forecasts of traffic volumes, ways of their further development and recommendations for improving the commercial and technical conditions for the transportation of containers by rail.

“We expect that this document will be approved in the near future within the IGC meeting,” the secretary-general stressed.

The official noted that the global trend of the struggle for container flows, which became relevant after China's announcement of the Belt and Road Initiative in 2013, has led to good results and positive growth dynamics.

By late 2020, container traffic performance rose by 9 percent, the volume of transported goods exceeded 8,000 20-foot TEU containers,” Asavbayev added.
