Deutsche Bahn to Help Develop Georgian Transport Corridor

TBILISI – State-owned Georgian Railways on July 1 signed a memorandum of understanding with Deutsche Bahn, one of Germany’s largest private railway companies.

The agreement envisages deepening the level of cooperation between Georgian and German transportation companies on the trans-Caspian route, which will allow cargo to be transported between China and Europe via Georgia, the Persian Gulf and Caspian Sea.

The German side has said it would like to actively participate in the development process of “Georgian corridor” to provide additional transport options.

Deutsche Bahn plans to enter into the Georgian transport sector as it is one of the biggest operators of rolling stock operating between China and Europe.
