Kazakhstan's Dorstk Moint Railway was launched, and the electronic queuing at the Sino Kazakhstan Port was launched on the 23rd, which will improve the transport capacity of China Europe trains

On November 17, the double track project of Dostyk Moyinty railway section was started in Karaganda Prefecture, which is also one of the railway lines in Kazakhstan's 2025 Infrastructure Construction Plan. "Kazakhstan New Observation" reported this.

Prime Minister Smyrov of Kazakhstan attended the commencement ceremony in the form of video. In his speech, he pointed out that the implementation of this strategic project is of great significance to the development of the country's transit transport potential.

"This major railway project will increase the transport capacity of this section to five times the original - from 12 pairs of trains to 60 pairs of trains, and will also completely solve the transport problem of Kazakhstan's exporters in this direction." Smilov said.

According to Smyrov, Kazakhstan has decided to implement a number of major infrastructure projects in the railway field that will greatly improve the transport capacity. These include Dostyk - Moyinty Railway, Bakhty - Ayagoz Railway, Darbaza - Maktaaral Railway, Almaty Loop Railway and other projects.

Among them, the construction of three railway lines is closely related to China and deserves our attention.

First of all, Kazakhstan is currently building the "Dostek Moint" section of the railway. The Dorstk Port is adjacent to the Ala Mountain Pass in Xinjiang, China, and it is the last stop from Kazakhstan Railway to China. This section of railway is directly connected to the Alataw Pass in China in the east, connecting with the international transportation route across the Caspian Sea between China and Europe recently insisted by Tokayev in Kazakhstan, and connecting Asia through Türkiye. This route completely avoids Russia. In the current situation, even after the end of the Russian Ukrainian conflict in the future, it is still a route that can better ensure the security of China EU trade.

According to Kazakhstan, after the completion of the project, the transit traffic between China and Europe will be greatly increased. The transport capacity of this corridor is expected to increase by five times, and the transport speed will increase from 800 km/day to 1500 km/day.

The Kazakh government said that the opening of the 836 km new railway line will help Kazakhstan's local products continue to export and transit potential growth. During the construction period, it is planned to build 419 artificial buildings (5 major bridges, 87 medium and small bridges, 288 culverts, 14 highway overpasses), as well as energy and communication facilities. The construction is expected to be completed in the fourth quarter of 2025.

The electronic queuing system at Dorstke Port will be launched on the 23rd of this month

In addition, according to the news of the "New Silk Road Observation", the Kazakhstan National Revenue Commission said that the Kazakhstan China border "Dostek" port (the Chinese side is Alashan Pass) will start the pilot launch of the electronic queuing system on November 23.

According to the news, in order to start the electronic queuing system, the Kazakhstan National Revenue Commission and the border bureau of the National Security Council jointly developed a temporary plan for vehicle customs clearance.

With the official website of electronic queuing system Qoldau The pilot operation of kz and CargoRuqsat, a mobile phone application, began on the 23rd of this month. The issuance of current paper passes will be officially stopped on the 22nd, while the current queue list will be digitized on the 23rd.

It is understood that the creation of the electronic queue system is aimed at ensuring the transparency and digitalization of the formation process of vehicles and goods queue entering border checkpoints, as well as increasing the transit transport and export potential of the country.

The National Revenue Commission of Kazakhstan said that the system is convenient and transparent. The driver registers on the portal or mobile app and chooses a free date and time to travel. Finally, the driver will receive information about the queue.

It is reported that President Tokayev of Kazakhstan issued instructions to speed up the start of the border electronic queuing system during his work inspection of Jet Suzhou on October 20.

Tacheng Bakhty, the third railway port on the border between China and Kazakhstan

In addition, it is the third railway to be built on the border between Kazakhstan and China.

In July this year, Kazakh Ambassador to China Nureshev revealed at the 10th World Peace Forum that Kazakhstan and China are establishing a third railway on the Kazakhstan China border. There are two border railway lines between China and Kazakhstan, namely Alashankou Dostek Railway and Horgos Atenkori Railway.

At the press conference held by the Kazakh Embassy in China on October 29, Nureshev confirmed again that the two sides are discussing the construction of a third railway port on the Kazakhstan China border. The specific location of the port in China is the Baktu port in Tacheng, Xinjiang. Kazakhstan is the border area between Abai Oblast and China, and the border crossing point, Tacheng Bakhty. The opening of the third cross-border railway port between Kazakhstan and China in the future will greatly promote the transport and logistics cooperation between the two countries.

Ajag ö s County, Abay Prefecture, Kazakhstan, 270 km away from Tacheng City, Xinjiang, is an important railway hub in Kazakhstan. The Outline of China Kazakhstan Cooperation Plan (2015-2020) signed by China and Kazakhstan in December 2015 clearly specifies to strengthen the construction of connectivity channels and study the feasibility of building the Karamay Baktu Ayaguz railway project.

On March 22, 2017, Tacheng District and Dongha Prefecture Government signed the Memorandum on Preliminary Study of Karamay Baktu Ayaguz Railway (Baktu Ayaguz Section) Construction, and jointly prepared the Study on Tacheng Ayaguz Railway Scheme (First Draft).

On May 30, 2019, the opening of Karamay Tacheng Railway in China laid the foundation for opening the third railway channel from Xinjiang to Central Asia and Europe.

Almaty Loop Railway

Kazakhstan also approved the "Almaty Loop Railway" project.

Almaty is the largest city in Kazakhstan, as well as the economic center and transportation hub of the country. The completion of this railway will increase the cargo handling efficiency of Almaty Station by 30%.

The completion of this railway will not only make the Chinese goods in transit here run more quickly, but also make Almaty a major transit place for goods from Central Asian countries to the east and west, helping local economic development.
