Historique
Devoirs et responsabilités
- Define present status of the trans-GTR transport corridors: freight and passenger flows directions, volumes, modal structure; state of infrastructure; major bottlenecks, etc. Provide transport forecast for the trans-GTR corridors, list existing development plans, and identify traffic demand.
- Identify present bottlenecks for the freight and passenger flows, analyze existing cross-border practices and transport policies in the GTR region, reveal key challenges for the trans-GTR transport corridors activation and development and recommend transport and cross-border facilitation measures.
- Develop a transport and cross-border facilitation strategy and action plans (implementation mechanism) to comprehensively address the identified challenges by planning tasks for the public and private stakeholders.
- Identify and design in-detail key transport projects (for both infrastructure and service) and policy measures (on transit and border-crossing issues) essential for the activation and further development of the trans-GTR transport corridors.
Duties and Responsibilities:
- The part of the Siberian Land Bridge (SLB) within the Primorsky Territory,
- Suifenhe Transport Corridor – from the border with China at Grodekovo to the ports in the Primorsky Territory (Vostochny, Nakhodka, Vladivostok) and from the border with China at Zabaykalsk to the connection with SLB.

- Gather and analyze data on the current state of the infrastructure facilities along the trans-GTR corridors (railways, roads, seaports, logistics centers, border crossings, dry ports/inland container depots, etc.) and existing plans and prospects for their development.
- Examine formalities, regulations and procedures on border crossing and transit along the trans-GTR corridors (customs clearance, immigration and quarantine control, border inspection, licensing, etc.) and recent governmental policies towards border crossing.
- Conduct traffic demand analysis and traffic forecast for the Russian segments of the corridors listed above.
- Conduct field studies at the important loci at the corridors and sea-land transportation routes, such as border crossing points, sea and dry ports, transportation nodes, etc.
- Identify, categorize and thoroughly analyze major bottlenecks, pending issues and other problems, including gaps in infrastructure and quality of transport and logistics services, which impede the activation and further development of the trans-GTR transport corridors.
- Identify possible solutions to the problems constraining the progress on implementation of the trans-GTR transport corridors.
- Estimate financial, technical and other requirements needed to actualize the solutions identified and outline proper arrangements of the requirements.
- Develop strategic measures to the formalization and operationalization of the international transport corridors in the Russian part of the GTR and the region as whole to be included to the Regional Strategy.
- Identify the roles of public and private stakeholders in the eliminating the barriers and solving the problems, connected with launch and development of the transport corridors passing through Greater Tumen Region.
- Develop National action plan reflecting measures for eliminating barriers and containing tentative implementation framework.
- Propose national, bilateral and multilateral policy measures of critical importance for facilitating earliest corridor’s activation and smooth functioning.
- Participate in the development of the GTI Transport Corridor Database (in the form of Excel spreadsheets).
- Identify a number of priority transport projects and policy measures within the Regional Strategy and the National Action Plan.
- Draft the relevant inputs to the Interim Report and draft National Draft Final Report (including report on the integrated transport and facilitating infrastructures development plan (study) for the trans-GTR transport corridors, regional strategy, national action plan, GTI Transport Corridor Database and priority project list).
- Undertake all the necessary action to successfully complete the tasks above.
