    ArmInfo. As a result of a joint work of "South Caucasus Railway" CJSC
    with the Georgian Railway, transportation of the loaded 20ft containers
    in the direction of Karmir Blur-Poti-Karmir Blur started April 1,
    2009, will be calculated at a through rate of 0.48 Sw. francs (~ US
    $300) per 1 cont.-km both through the territory of Armenia and Georgia.

    This decision aimed at attraction of cargo traffic in the export-import
    communication, including from the railway-alternative kinds of
    transport.

    "We hope that reduction of tariffs will allow to increase the volumes
    of container traffic by railway and will create a stable platform for
    further development of through technologies of work with contiguous
    roads", Chief of commercial shipment unit of "SCR" CJSC Ilya Kelperis
    said. Tariff reduction will also allow to assure transparency of the
    railway constituent in the cost of carriage when using several kinds
    of transport", he added.

    SCR CJSC is the 100 percent subsidiary of Russian Railways CJSC. In
    February 2008 SCR obtained a concession of the state CJSC Armenian
    Railway. The agreement of concession of the Armenian Railroad CJSC
    for 30 years with a 20-year renewable period was signed in Yerevan
    in February 2008.
