ARTICLE ANNOTATION

quote
The intensification of international freight flows in Central Asia has made transport route diversification a matter of strategic importance. The traditional maritime route from China to Afghanistan via Bandar Abbas (50–60 days) is characterised by prolonged delivery times and elevated costs. In 2023–2024, a new multimodal route—China – Kazakhstan – Uzbekistan – Turkmenistan – Afghanistan—was launched covering 7,400 km with an average delivery time of 30 days. Comparative route evaluation, transport cost modelling, reliability index analysis, and intermodal operational performance measurement were employed. Data from Uztemiryo‘lkonteyner JSC, UTK Transport & Logistics, and railway organisations of three transit states were analysed. The new route reduces delivery times by 40–50%, route distance by 40%, and indirect costs by 25–32%. The Bukhara intermodal transshipment is completed within 24 hours. Uzbekistan consolidates its strategic role as a transit-logistics hub. The route reduces geopolitical exposure, enhances regional cooperation, and strengthens Uzbekistan’s position in international transit logistics. Future digitalisation and border simplification will further improve efficiency.
