The Transport and Logistics Center of Turkmenistan (TULM) has initiated an unprecedented logistics route by sending the first container train from Tashkent with a cargo of urea destined for delivery to Brazil. According to TULM, the train, formed of 54 forty-foot containers, each carrying 28 tons of fertilizer, became the first direct cargo route of its kind.
The train's route passes through several countries: from Uzbekistan the train will head to the port of Turkmenbashy, after which it will transit through the territories of Azerbaijan and Georgia to the port of Poti. In the Georgian port the containers will be reloaded onto a sea vessel, which will deliver them to the Brazilian port of Paranagua. The total delivery time for the cargo will be 60-70 days: 20 days will be spent on the railway section and 35-45 days on the sea crossing.
