>From February 1, 2013 JSC "Georgian Railway" increases tariff rates
for shipping for 20-foot containers by 3.5% and canceled the discount
factor 0.82 for 40-foot containers.
In order to reduce cost pressures on shippers in February South
Caucasus Railway restrained the growth rates for freight on its own
resources. However, guided by the Agreement on the organization of
the international rail container transport and due to the arrangement
with the Georgian Railway from March 1, 2013 the new interest rates
are also entered in the territory of Armenia.
Thus, the rate for a 40-foot loaded container will count to 0.96
dollars per ton-km (instead of 0.78), and for an empty container 0.48
(instead of 0.39). For loaded and empty 20-foot containers tariff
will respectively be 0.56 and 0.28, instead of 0.54 and 0.27.
Note that SCR has followed a policy of containing freight tariffs for
the last 3 years and the rate was increased only from January 1, 2013.
