Kyrgyz JSC company- UBS transit, and Turkish Arcas logistics company have launched a new multi-modal route for the delivery of goods from Turkey to Kyrgyzstan and back by rail and sea. On May 20, Osh received the first cargo of 40 containers delivered on the new route. This was reported by the press service of the Chamber of Commerce and Industry of the Kyrgyz REPUBLIC.

According to the Director of UBS transit Talant Matkerim uulu, who is also the Chairman of the Subcommittee of the CCI (Chamber of Commerce and Industry) of the Kyrgyz REPUBLIC on transport, the new railway route for cargo transportation is not easy. The goods are transported from Turkey by rail through Georgia to Azerbaijan, then by sea to Turkmenistan, where they are loaded into railway trains, and then by rail through Uzbekistan, the cargo is delivered to the southern capital of Kyrgyzstan.
According to him, it should also be noted that the vital activity of the Kyrgyz economy depends on the efficient operation of cargo carriers. After all, they supply the country with food and basic necessities by preventing the deficit.
"Previously, we carried out cargo transportation using only highways. However, entrepreneurs suffered huge losses for well-known reasons related to COVID-19, while crossing the borders of the Commonwealth States. The development of multimodal transportation not only eliminates the risks of cargo detention, but also allows increasing the volume of deliveries, " Matkerim uulu stated.
