February 18, Fineko/abc.az. Kazakhstan Railways (KTZ) has shipped non-primary export cargo to the U.S. for the first time, ABC.AZ reports, referring to the KTZ press service.

"Implementation of this project opens up new prospects for Kazakhstan's exports and expands country's trade and logistics capabilities," KTZ informs.

The export transportation route from Kazakhstan started from the city of Almaty and, passing through the port of Aktau (Kazakhstan), was loaded onto a ship and delivered by sea to the port of Alat (Azerbaijan).

From there, the cargo was carried by rail to the port of Poti (Georgia), where it was again loaded onto a ship and transported by sea to its final destination, Houston (USA). The duration of the multimodal service from Kazakhstan to the USA was 68 days.
