The Turkish rail freight operator Pasifik Eurasia has signed a deal with a China Railway subsidiary for block train transportation along the Middle Corridor. The initial goal is to reach 1,000 annual block trains on the route.<\/strong>
\n<\/span>\u201cWithin the scope of this agreement, 10 block train services will be launched first, and then regular block train services will be carried out\u201d, explains Pasifik Eurasia. \u201cThe agreements signed by our company regarding China transportations up until now have been made with companies in different provinces of China, and the abovementioned agreement was signed with the company of the state institution that coordinates railway logistics activities in all these provinces.\u201d<\/p>\n

Pasifik Eurasia aims to become a major player on the Middle Corridor and the Baku – Tbilisi – Kars (BTK) railway. This agreement, it says, will help achieve those goals. The company hopes to reach 1,000 block train services annually in a first development stage. The deal also contributes to T\u00fcrkiye\u2019s development as a logistics centre, according to Pasifik Eurasia.<\/p>\n

T\u00fcrkiye is trying to capitalise on its strategic location, leveraging rail infrastructure as a tool to become a major global logistics player. The Middle Corridor, of which the BTK line is a part, plays a crucial role in that effort.<\/p>\n
