Dry Ports Significance forLand‐Locked Countries
Introduction
Mongolia is an ideal environment for the development of Dry Ports. With fast
growing local industries and volumes of cargo exchanged with our world, with no
access to a sea but with a relatively good connection to neighboring ports of
Russia and China calls for an erection and development of respective hubs, even
with reflection of the vast territory of the country and a minor‐but‐growing
intensity of settlement.

Dry Ports Significance for Land‐Locked Countries as Mongolia
• Mongolia ratified the Intergovernmental Agreement on Dry Ports on 23 April2016.
• The Agreement identifies a number of existing and potential dry port locationsthat are to be the basis of a coordinated effort to creates modes along aninternational integrated intermodal transport and logistics system.

Dry Ports Significance for Land‐Locked Countries
Nominated as Dry Ports /inland ports/ in MongoliaALTANBULAG and ZAMYN-UUD are respectfully key parts ofa wider Altanbulag and Zamyn-Uud Special Economic Zones.
These have several targeted focuses, as vehicles forincreased investment, economic development andcommerce. Special legal (custom) regimes are offered tothose companies whose activities foster fast development ofhigh‐productivity and competitive industries, promoteinvestments and transfer of new technologies, andincreasing employment opportunities.

Challenges for Mongolia
ALTANBULAG dry port has easier logistics (same gauge) and locates not so far from Mongolian capital.
Therefore a major investment into the site changing theborder railway station and road crossing into a 21st centuryhub should be prompted. Here should be built railterminalwith transloading equipment, a custom bonded zone, aminor railcar and container repair‐ and depot‐facility.

Challenges for Mongolia
ZAMYN-UUD dry port has a direct connection with theChinese seaport of Tianjin with a bonded coverage, and thesite is a logical service point because of different gauges.
Being a part of the Transsiberian railway system its role inthe long distance trade should also be reiterated byinterconnection with hubs in Ulanbaatar, Oyu Tolgoi andother centers to become a first class gateway to the country.

Challenges for Mongolia
o Lack of knowledge for planning of intermodal facilities intransport infrastructure are large and complex
oGoM needs to formulate context specific strategies forintermodal development, including public infrastructurefunding priorities
oSetting up the priority in term of developing and building ofnominated dry ports
oLack of legal framework to minimize a total logistics cost

The economic corridor
• Connection with the Silk Road Economic Belt assures access to SouthEast Asia, India-China Peninsula, South, West and Central Asia
• Connection with the TransSiberian and the North-South TransportCorridor will provide an opportunity to access the Atlantic, the Pacificand the Arctic Oceans
• АH-3 (АH6 + АH= Baltic Sea, Thailand), АH-4 (АH5 + АH7 = Iran,Pakistan)

Northern and central railway links of the economic
corridor
Conduct studies on northern
railway links of the economic
corridor (Kurangino-Kyzyl-
Tsagaantolgoi-Artssuuri-Ovoot-
Erdenet-Salkhit- Zamiinuud-
Erenhot-Ulaantsav-Zhangjiakou-
Beijing- Tianjin). In the case of
a positive feasibility study result,
the construction work will start.
Conduct a feasibility study for
comprehensively redeveloping the main
railway links of the economic corridor
(Ulaanude-Naushki-Sukhbaatar-
Ulaanbaatar-Zamiinuud-Erenhot-
Ulaantsav-Zhangjiakou-Beijing-Tianjin),
constructing a double-track railway, and
distributing electricity to it.
