TERMINAL FOR CONTAINER TRANSPORTATION AT GASHUUNSUKHAIT TO BE OPERATED BY PUBLIC AND PRIVATE COMPANIES

The new terminal for container transportation at Gashuunsukhait border checkpoint is currently undergoing the inspection of the State Commission. The terminal’s construction was financed by Energy Resource LLC, Erdenes Tavantolgoi JSC, and Tavantolgoi JSC.

A joint financing agreement for the construction of buildings and roads at the terminal has been established between the sides. Minister of Mining and Heavy Industry G.Yondon, Erdenes Tavantolgoi CEO B.Gankhuyag, Tavantolgoi CEO J.Dorjsuren, and Energy Resource CEO G.Battsengel signed the agreement.

With this, the companies will be in charge of the costs for the construction of the terminal buildings and roads as well as the activities to be carried out in the project framework.

Using containers to transport coal through the Gashuunsukhait border checkpoint, it increases the capacity of export and prevents the quality of coal from degrading, alongside reducing the environmental impact. A study has also found that the annual coal export is estimated to increase by 8-10 million tons as a result, reported the Ministry of Mining and Heavy Industry.
