CONSTRUCTION OF TERMINAL FOR CONTAINER TRANSPORTATION TO INCREASE COAL EXPORT

The establishment of additional terminal for containerized shipping at Gashuunsukhait and Shiveekhuren border checkpoint is 80 percent complete.

The terminal, which will be commissioned in September, is being built with funding from Energy Resources LLC, Erdenes Tavan Tolgoi JSC and Tavan Tolgoi JSC. Moreover, road construction of containerized shipping has started with the establishment of an additional transportation control points at Shiveekhuren checkpoint by the ‘Mongoliin Alt’ LLC.

Construction of flood dams, long and short haul roads at Gashuunsukhait checkpoint as well as the infrastructure are being accomplished as planned.

The construction of terminal for containerized shipping at border checkpoints will reduce human contact and allow drivers to carry out works steadily without crossing the border. Furthermore, it will reduce the negative impact caused by coal transportation on environment, and increase coal export.
