    JAN 10 ARMENIAN-RUSSIAN-GEORGIA MEETING TO DISCUSS KAVKAZ-POTI TRAIN FERRY ISSUES

    YEREVAN, DECEMBER 21. ARMINFO. An Armenian-Russian-Georgian meeting
    will be held Jan 10 2005 to discuss the details of the contract to
    exploit the Kavkaz-Poti train ferry which will directly connect the
    Russian and Georgian railroads, says the spokesperson of Armenia's
    Transport and Communication Ministry Tamara Galechyan.

    The sides will specify the schedule and scheme of the ferry
    exploitation. The formerly announced date of the ferry operation,
    Jan 5, is not true, says Galechyan.

    Now the railroad operations Armenia-Georgia-Russia are carried out via
    Ukraine who charges 40% of the transportation costs. The Port Kavkaz
    train ferry was launched in May 2004 and can carry 500,000 tons of
    cargo a year. But it has one serious problem - it can receive only
    small ships because of its shallow coast.
