Turkic Countries Implement E-Permits for Freight Transport
Economy
Turkic states are preparing for a large-scale digital reform in logistics. During the 14th meeting of the OTS Working Group on Transport Development in Bishkek, representatives of member countries agreed to eliminate bureaucratic barriers and accelerate transit along the strategically vital Trans-Caspian "Middle Corridor."
The primary focus of the meeting was the full digitalization of transport procedures. Participants discussed the implementation of e-CMR (electronic consignment note) and e-Permit systems, which will allow carriers to process documents online and significantly reduce waiting times at borders. Special emphasis was placed on the "Middle Corridor," the transit route connecting East and West via the Caspian Sea.
In addition to digital innovations, the meeting covered the launch of new ferry routes in the Caspian Sea and the practical implementation of the Samarkand Agreement on International Combined Freight Transport. Turkey presented its transport reform concept, intended to serve as the foundation for integrating the logistics systems of OTS member states. The meeting concluded with the approval of the agenda for the upcoming 9th meeting of Transport Ministers, where these initiatives are expected to receive official status.
