A second train has already left China for Georgia in the last 10 days

Another railway route has been launched from China to the European market via Azerbaijan and Georgia on the Middle Corridor. In particular, another block train was loaded in two large cities in western China, Chengdu and Chongqing, and on July 9, it headed for Kazakhstan via the Khorgos terminal in the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region.

The train will continue its movement along the Middle Corridor and deliver goods to European countries via the Caspian Sea, Azerbaijan, Georgia and Turkey. The train is loaded with communication equipment, auto parts and other products.

The train is expected to deliver cargo to Baku 30 days faster than the traditional sea route. Part of the cargo will be sent from Baku to Georgia, Turkey and Serbia.

It is worth noting that this is the second train in the last 10 days that has departed from China along the Middle Corridor route to Europe. In particular, on June 30, the first train on the new line departed from the station in Beijing's Fangshan district through the same Khorgos checkpoint to the Kazakh port of Aktau, consisting of 104 standard containers loaded with auto parts and mechanical equipment. The cargo is worth more than 15 million yuan, or approximately 2.093 million dollars.

This cargo will enter the Alyat port of Azerbaijan by sea and be transported by rail to Baku. After arriving in Baku, part of the containers will be redirected to Georgia, Turkey, Serbia and other countries in the region. The total length exceeds 8,000 km, and the train should arrive in Baku 15 days after departure, that is, in the middle of this month.

The route will be implemented using a multimodal scheme, “rail-sea-rail”.
