The TULM told Business Turkmenistan that the train departed from Bogazkopru station in Istanbul on April 10 this year. The container train’s freight was transported to the Turkmenbashi International Seaport by the Teymur Akhmedov feeder ship on April 21.
This transportation of the express freight train is carried out by the TULM and the Azerbaijan Railways’ ADY Container subsidiary.
