The Northern Rail Corridor An important new One Belt One Road Route for China - Europe Trade

September 2016

Silk Road Summit - Washington DC

Northern Rail Corridor Now in One Belt One Road Policy

Incorporating China's One Belt One Road; Mongolian Steppe Road and Russia's Eurasian Economic Union Policy Linking the Seaport of Tianjin to the Trans-Siberian Railway through Mongolia

Kuragino - Kyzyl - Arts Suuri - Ovoot - Erdenet - Salkhit - Zamyn Uud - Jining

  • Beijing - Tainjin

    • Northern Railway Corridor one of 6 key rail and maritime economic corridors identified in China's One Belt One Road Policy

    • Northern Railway Corridor endorsed by Russian,

Mongolian and Chinese Governments in June 2016.

Requires:

Expansion of the Trans Mongolian Railway into a Dual Track Service

Construction of the Erdenet to Ovoot Railway (547kms :

Northern Railways LLC)

Construction of Ovoot - Arts Suuri - Kyzyl Railway (approx 525 kms)

Construction of Kyzyl to Kuragino Railway (406 kms)

Northern Rail Corridor

New Path To Europe to Support Trade Between Chinese, Russian and European Industrial Centres.

Incorporating China's One Belt One Road; Mongolian Steppe Road and Russia's Eurasian Economic Union Policy

  • One Belt One Road includes three (3) overland rail routes that

    recreate the ancient Euro-Asian trade corridors:

    • China - Kazakhstan - Europe

    • China - Russia - Europe (via Manzhouli crossing)

    • China - Mongolia - Russia - Europe

  • The Corridor through Mongolia provides the shortest distance for Chinese goods to reach European markets from north east China.

  • Rail is always quicker and some times cheaper than sea freight options.

  • Inclusion of the Erdenet - Ovoot - Arts Suuri alignment in Northern Rail Corridor provides an alternate route that:

    • Reduces substantial capacity upgrades along TSR

    • Drives the volume requirements needed to dual track the Trans-Mongolian Railway, thereby slashing travel time and cost

Complimentary Rail Corridors

  • Chengdu - Kazakhstan - Poland (9,826 kms)

    • Opened 2013

    • Express service takes 12 -14 days

    • Used for electronics and vehicle sub assemblies.

    • Freight volumes increased to 1,000 trains a year

      carrying 60% of rail freight task

    • Freight Volumes nearly doubling each year

  • Beijing - Russia - Poland (13,000 kms)

    • Goes around Mongolia

    • One gauge change

    • Carries 30% of rail freight task.

  • Beijing - Mongolia - Russia - Poland (8,150 kms)

    • Shorter distance

    • Targets industrialized NE China

    • Requires Mongolian Dual Track expansion and Northern Rail Corridor to speed up and reduce costs.
