The parties discussed the expected cargo projections for 2022, including the capacity on railway sectors and along the Caspian Sea, the conditions for additional cargo load, as well as the implementation of the so-called Middle Corridor and a promising joint venture that would resolve the issues of transversal tariff formation and cargo declaration by applying unified IT solutions and consolidating a transit cargo along the route.
