IV. FACILITATION MEASURES FOR INTERNATIONAL RAILWAY TRANSPORT

1. BILATERAL AGREEMENTS ON TRANSIT BY RAIL

THE PEOPLE’S REPUBLIC OF CHINA

• Intergovernmental agreement on the access to andfrom the sea and transit transportation throughChinese territory by Mongolia, 2014 – instead of1991;

• General Intergovernmental Agreement on DevelopingCooperation in Railway Transit Transportation, 2014(to be adopted)

V. FACILITATION MEASURES AT RAILWAY BORDER CROSSINGS

RUSSIA to CHINA CHINA to RUSSIA1. Technological time:

• Train receiving procedure time at Zamiin-Udestation was 420 minutes:

• Mongolia introduced parallel technology system:train receiving procedure time reduced by 173minutes (248 minutes).

2. Fast processing of container trains:

• Excluded the locomotive changing procedure forwhole travel;

• Technical maintenance technology is reduced attechnical station from 60-70 minutes to 30-40minutes.

Reducing the travel time: freight transportation 850-950 km per day.

Russia to China: 28 hours, became 27% faster

China to Russia: 31 hours, became 26% faster

3. Simplification: Exchange information between railway stakeholders

In 2016, signed contract between Mongolian and Russianrailway authorities for exchange electronic documents byIFTMIN: 14103 documents received, 12591 documents sent.

Phase I:

Beginning stage of paperless procedure for railway transportation: Consignment notes and Transfer lists are exchanged fully Electronic version since May 2017/IFTMIN, IFTSUM/.

E-sign will be available in 2018 between UlaanbaatarRailways and Russian Railways, international and domestictransport documents will be acceptable without collating withpaper documents.

stations.

2. Lack of cooperation between internal and external stakeholders: Electronic

information exchange between railways and control authorities.

3. Long time taken for freight trains to cross the border at the Erlian/Zamiin-

Ude.

4. Lengthy transshipment operations, limited reloading/receiving capacities.

5. Capacity building improvement.
