Development of the Trans-Asian Railway

Trans-Asian Railway in the North-south Corridor - Northern Europe to the Persian Gulf

Format *
One of the main features of economic development in the last decade of the 20th century has been the globalization of markets, which brought with it increased demand for the unhindered movement of people, goods and services. The overall competitiveness in a global economy is impaired when transport services are inadequate, with the poorer, peripheral regions often paying the highest penalties. Wider recognition of this problem, combined with improved political stability in most parts of the Asian continent, has made possible the expression of a common desire by the countries concerned to make greater efforts to bring the fragmented national networks together to form regional and sub-regional transport system. This publication documents the results of an implementation study for Northern Europe to the Persian Gulf. It has seven chapters focusing on: possible transport routes between northern Europe and the Persian Gulf, technical requirements, operational requirements, commercial requirements, facilitation of cross-border movements of cargo and finally conclusions and recommendations.
