During the first stage of the journey, the cargo was delivered by sea from Port Klang in Malaysia to the Port of Qingdao in China. It then continued by rail through Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan before arriving at Dushanbe-2 railway station in Tajikistan.
The total transit time amounted to 32 days, including 15 days for sea transportation and 17 days for rail delivery.
According to JSC Uztemiryulkonteyner, the successful pilot shipment marks an important milestone in the development of a new transport corridor linking Southeast Asia with Central Asia.
