Uzbekistan is one of the biggest markets in Central Asia and one of the most advanced economies in Eastern TRACECA region. Uzbekistan shares common borders with Afghanistan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan and Turkmenistan.
Uzbekistan transport network includes 7 thousands km of railways, 183 thousands km of roads and 1 river port. The existing capacity allows the handling of 1 billion tons of cargo by rail.
Main priorities relevant to LOGMOS include:
· Development of transport infrastructure by means of expanding road network and constructing of by-pass roads, increasing capacity of railways and terminals (“dry port” type);
· Renewal of rolling stock;
· Improvement of investment climate by means of implementing public-private partnerships;
· Availability and quality of transport services by means of developing international transport corridors, widening the implementation of container and piggy-train techniques, reducing delivery time and time spent at border crossing points, introducing electronic document exchange.
The specific priorities are:
· in rail transport the rehabilitation of infrastructure along international transport corridors, the expansion of the capacity of railway stations, the increase in train cruising speed, the reduction of delivery time and the widening of logistics centres network;
· in road transport: the widening of the road network and improvement of road transport technology;
· an effective transport support to foreign trade and increase in transit cargo flows;
· the joint elaboration and implementation of transit transport technologies and through rates with neighbouring countries;
· the support to intermodal transport and opening of new container transport routes;
· the establishment of logistics centres for transport, handling and storage, etc.
To respond to the existing challenges for MOS and ILC promotion, the LOGMOS team supported a pre-screening for potential pilot projects. The pre-screening was based on the multi criteria analysis of proposed projects. Feasibility study was elaborated for the selected pilot project for Uzbekistan.
The LOGMOS team carried out a comprehensive country analysis covering the national transport policy, strategic challenges, legal environment and investments in the transport and logistics sector. Findings of this study were reflected in a Country Profile based on the following structure:
Legal Environment in the field of Transport
National Policy and Legislation in Trade and Transit
Investments in Transport and Logistics Sector
Pilot Projects Selected for MoS I and ILC Projects
