| Summary: | This study evaluates the potential
demand for oil and oil products transport via the existing
rail corridor in the Caucasus, taking into consideration the
competition from alternative routes. It identifies potential
bottlenecks that would prevent the potential traffic from
using the corridor and proposes solutions for the physical
and operational improvements to the corridor needed to
attract the potential traffic. The report is based on a
review of studies of oil production and transport, and
interviews with oil producers, transportation
intermediaries, railways, and ports in the region. The
report begins with a discussion of the outlook for Caspian
oil production and transport options for oil. Next, it
discusses the physical and commercial constraints on the
Caucasus rail corridor. It ends with a market analysis,
strategies for attracting business, and significant actions
needed to address the problems outlined previously in the report. |
