Then, Ukraine joined the International Trans-Caspian transport route.

The Nomad Express train plying on trans Caspian international transport route delivers cargo from China to Europe in 10-12 days. This is one of the advantages of the transport corridor. Upon completion of construction of the Baku-Tbilisi-Kars railway corridor cargo capacity will increase, and the delivery time will be reduced.
