Ulaanbaatar/MONTSAME/.
Officials consider that the improvement of operations of not only Zamyn-Uud
border checkpoint but also others is one of the solutions to increase export
through eliminating the congestions at the border crossings and customs. This
was stressed by Deputy Prime Minister S.Amarsaikhan when checking operations of
Zamyn-Uud border checkpoint.
In
particular, it has been decided to establish additional transportation control
points and customs control zones for containerized coal shipping at other checkpoints,
including Gashuunsukhait and Shiveekhuren in Umnugovi aimag, to increase the
coal export. A relevant proposal to carry out this work within the framework of
a public-private partnership was developed. As a result, a resolution No:185 titled ‘Establishing the
terminal for container transportation’ was approved at the cabinet meeting
dated July 2 this year.
As a part of the implementation of the resolution, works
to develop a blueprint of the terminal at Gashuunsukhait port and conduct
related estimations and studies have started. The terminal is planned to be put
into operations in early September, reports Ministry of Mining and Heavy Industry.
