The Deputy Chairman of the Government of the Russian Federation, plenipotentiary of the President of the Russian Federation to the Far Eastern Federal District, Yuri Trutnev, visited a multilateral road and railway checkpoints in the PTG on the border with China.Transbaikalsk, got acquainted with the work of the Transcontaner transport and logistics center.The reconstruction of the largest railway checkpoint of Transbaikalsk in the country ended last year.The volume of transportation is half of all cargoes moved through the land plot of the Russian-Chinese border (in 2022-30.2 million tons).As part of the reconstruction, the first railway stationary inspection and inspection complex in Russia was created.Cargo control takes place without opening containers and stopping the composition, which goes at a speed of up to 70 km/h.An administrative building was built and put into operation for the placement of divisions of state control authorities with the equipment of office premises and jobs with modern technical means of control, communication and communication.The throughput of the checkpoint amounted to 52 railway compositions per day (32 compositions along the rut of 1520 mm and 20 compositions along the range of 1435 mm).This year, design and survey work on the project “Construction of the Sorting Park“ I ”at Art.Transbaikalsk. "The International Car Road Project Transbaikalsk is the main economic gate on the border with the PRC and provides over 50% of the Russian-Chinese trade.For September-October, almost 7 thousand freight vehicles were crossed the border with China (in September –3869, in October-3126).The design of the reconstruction of the checkpoint is underway.The implementation of the project will increase the bandwidth of the border crossing to 2400 vehicles per day (1600 trucks, 500 cars and 300 passenger vehicles), create comfortable conditions for crossing the border and ensure the passage of growing traffic.Yuri Trutnev drew attention to the loading of the Transcontaner TLC.Now the terminal is loaded 50% of the design capacity.Call and transport capabilities of Art.Transbaikalsk and ZhDPP Transbaikalsk do not provide the required supply of trains of 8 pairs /day with the prospect of up to 16 pairs.Currently, 5 pairs per day are transmitted due to infrastructure restrictions on the Zabaikalsk station.“When we are talking about the development of the Far East, which is carried out in accordance with the instructions of the President of the Russian Federation, then, first of all, we mark the number of jobs created, the number of investment projects implemented, and the volume of attracted investments.These are really big numbers and a lot of work.But it would be not true to say that everything turns out.We have vulnerability points.One of them is associated with the pace of creation of border infrastructure.This is the competence of the Ministry of Transport of Russia.I will be obliged to report to the Prime Minister of Russia on the unsatisfactory pace of work.The load increased to the border infrastructure: both on the eastern training ground and to the checkpoints.Any delays in the modernization of infrastructure inhibit the development of the country's economy.We must roll up the sleeves and work much faster, ”Yuri Trutnev summed up the results of the inspection.
