“Some barges can hold two blocks of block trains. We are loading the cargo onto the platform. We will fill our barge, it will take a day or a day and a half. All documents will already be ready for the customs authorities. Soon there will be an electronic document, then the vessel crosses the Caspian Sea,” the head of the company explained.
