China Trans-Eurasia Land Transport - Potential • Available infrastructure - huge potential via Trans-Siberian Railway (TSR) • Nowadays mostly is used to a limited extent for the purpose of intercontinental transportation • Four of 35 Asian countries dominate the rail-freight scene: • China, Russia, India, and Kazakhstan account for 97,5% of tone/km • Transported volumes via TSR increased by annual average of 50% since 1999 to ca. 0,5 MIO TEU: • ca. 0,4 MIO TEU (Russia / China trade) • Ca. 0,1 MIO TEU (transit goods Europe / China)
China Problems & Challenges • Poor international cooperation in transport issues • “Flexible” (not stable) tariff system for transit goods in Russia and Kazakhstan • Lack of transparency in transports tariff policy • “Flexible” (long) border procedure time between: • China – Kazakhstan • Russia / Belarus – Poland Unpredictable transit times • Security and quality
