1 Introduction on Dry Ports in Mongolia

2 Introduction Mongolia is an ideal environment for the development of Dry Ports. With fast growing local industries and volumes of cargo exchanged with our world, with no access to a sea but with a relatively good connection to neighboring ports of Russia and China calls for an erection and development of respective hubs, even with reflection of the vast territory of the country and a minor but growing intensity of settlement.

3 Dry Ports Significance for Land Locked Countries as Mongolia Mongolia ratified the Intergovernmental Agreement on Dry Ports on 23 April The Agreement identifies a number of existing and potential dry port locations that are to be the basis of a coordinated effort to creates modes along an international integrated intermodal transport and logistics system.

4 Dry Ports in Mongolia o Altanbulag (border with Russian Federation) o Ulaanbaatar o Sainshand o Zamyn-Uud (border with People`s republic of China) o Choibalsan (potential dry port)

6 Dry Ports in Mongolia Access to the Sea

7 Dry Ports in PRC&RF - Significance for Mongolia CHINA Erenhot South International Logistics Center, Erenhot Manzhouli New International Freight Yard, Manzhouli (altogether 17 ports, the above 2 have a direct connection with Mongolia).

8 Dry Ports Significance for Land Locked Countries Nominated as Dry Ports /inland ports/ in Mongolia ALTANBULAG and ZAMYN-UUD are respectfully key parts of a wider Altanbulag and Zamyn-Uud Special Economic Zones. These have several targeted focuses, as vehicles for increased investment, economic development and commerce. Special legal (custom) regimes are offered to those companies whose activities foster fast development of high productivity and competitive industries, promote investments and transfer of new technologies, and increasing employment opportunities.

9 Challenges for Mongolia ALTANBULAG dry port has easier logistics (same gauge) and locates not so far from Mongolian capital. Therefore a major investment into the site changing the border railway station and road crossing into a 21 st century hub should be prompted. Here should be built railterminal with transloading equipment, a custom bonded zone, a minor railcar and container repair and depot facility.

10 Challenges for Mongolia ZAMYN-UUD dry port has a direct connection with the Chinese seaport of Tianjin with a bonded coverage, and the site is a logical service point because of different gauges. Being a part of the Transsiberian railway system its role in the long distance trade should also be reiterated by interconnection with hubs in Ulanbaatar, Oyu Tolgoi and other centers to become a first class gateway to the country.

11 Challenges for Mongolia o Lack of knowledge for planning of intermodal facilities in transport infrastructure are large and complex ogom needs to formulate context specific strategies for intermodal development, including public infrastructure funding priorities osetting up the priority in term of developing and building of nominated dry ports olack of legal framework to minimize a total logistics cost

12 Current international intermodal transit routes

13 STATE POLICY FOR RAILWAY TRANSPORT

14 The economic corridor Connection with the Silk Road Economic Belt assures access to South East Asia, India-China Peninsula, South, West and Central Asia Connection with the TransSiberian and the North-South Transport Corridor will provide an opportunity to access the Atlantic, the Pacific and the Arctic Oceans АH-3 (АH6 + АH= Baltic Sea, Thailand), АH-4 (АH5 + АH7 = Iran, Pakistan)

15 Northern and central railway links of the economic corridor Conduct studies on northern railway links of the economic corridor (Kurangino-Kyzyl- Tsagaantolgoi-Artssuuri-Ovoot- Erdenet-Salkhit- Zamiinuud- Erenhot-Ulaantsav-Zhangjiakou- Beijing- Tianjin). In the case of a positive feasibility study result, the construction work will start. Conduct a feasibility study for comprehensively redeveloping the main railway links of the economic corridor (Ulaanude-Naushki-Sukhbaatar- Ulaanbaatar-Zamiinuud-Erenhot- Ulaantsav-Zhangjiakou-Beijing-Tianjin), constructing a double-track railway, and distributing electricity to it.

16 Economic corridor-asian highway networks 1. Western Economic Corridor: Ongoing implementation of 2 projects, and construction of 249.7km road. 2. Central Regional Economic Corridor: Ongoing implementation of 1 project, and construction of 220km road. This will need a financing of 560 million USD. 3. Eastern Economic Corridor: Need financing for million USD to implement a total of 4 projects, and construction of 757.5km road. 4. Planning to implement 5 projects, 11 alone the corridor including the service facilities AH-4 AH-3 East corridor
