Windows to Europe
TRANSPORTATION / Container transportation
After the TransSib transit collapse in 2006 every market player expresses his ideas how to revive the line. Now neighbors are ready to help Russia. Thus, Poland is actively developing the project of Slavkov (another name Slavkuv) terminal construction. Coordinating Council on TransSiberian Transportation (CCTT) even recommends to the Ministry of Transport to introduce privileged tariffs on transit transportation. Will border crossings and terminals development in Europe help to attract long awaited transit?
