Last month, I sent an email to a selected bunch of investors and analysts. I had a question or two, for background only – in case they could share insight.

This decline reflects a combination o…

Танзанийская железнодорожная корпорация подписала меморандум с египетской строительной группой Arab Contractors о пересмотре предложений по стандартной колее Южной железной дороги длиной 1 000 км от порта Мтвара до Мбамба-Бэй на озере Малави. Предварительный отчёт ожидается в течение трёх месяцев.
Новость касается железной дороги в Танзании и Южной Африке, которая не входит в Транскаспийский маршрут и Средний коридор. Прямой связи с перевозками по Среднему коридору нет; проект находится на стадии предварительных исследований.
Исследование Еврокомиссии указывает на отставание внедрения ERTMS и на зависимость от поставщиков, что может повысить стоимость. По плану национальных программ трасс потребуется оборудовать почти в пять раз быстрее, чем сейчас.
Еврокомиссия оценила, что внедрение ERTMS на сети TEN-T отстаёт: около 10% сети оснащено к концу 2024 года, а для выполнения национальных планов темп должен вырасти почти вкратце в пять раз. Проблемы с поставщиками и национальными вариантами системы могут удорожать проект (75–85 млрд евро), но новость напрямую не касается узлов Среднего коридора и носит общий характер, поэтому влияние на перевозки косвенное.
