BAKU, Azerbaijan, March 27. Turkmenistan has reduced the cost of obtaining permits for transit cargo carriers in multimodal transportation, Trend reports with reference to the Turkmen Logistics Association.
According to the information, the Turkemenulaggozegchilik State Enterprise announced discounts on the registration of permits and the international waybill of the CMR for vehicles transporting transit cargo from the railway station or cargo yard of Turkmenistan to other countries.
Discounts apply to multimodal transportation of transit cargo arriving by sea or railway to the cargo yard or to the first railway station on the territory of Turkmenistan.
Earlier, fees from foreign vehicles arriving at railway stations or freight yards in Turkmenistan for unloading transit cargo were also reduced from $250 to $100.
All these measures will allow carriers to more actively use the capabilities of railway terminals and freight yards on the Turkmen side of the border to reload cargo from one mode of transport to another and eliminate possible obstacles associated with obtaining permits for road transport to third countries.
