The РТС Holding office in Astana was visited by a delegation of the South Korean transport and logistics company LX Pantos, headed by President Lee Yong-ho. LX Pantos is part of the LG Group conglomerate and annually transports more than 1.5 million TEU of cargo by sea and more than 120 thousand tons by air. The company’s sales in 2023 amounted to 5.3 billion US dollars. The visit to Astana was the first for the company’s management and was aimed at establishing cooperation with РТС Holding.
The companies already have successful experience of cooperation, in particular, having implemented a project for the transportation of Skoda and Hyundai cars. During the meeting, the prospects for the development of the Trans-Caspian international transport route, as well as the construction of a new container terminal in Poti, which is being carried out by РТС Holding, were discussed. Chairman of the Board of РТС Holding Timur Karabayev noted that the company adheres to two key principles: development based on its own assets and strengthening partnerships.
Karabayev also spoke about Dostyk TransTerminal, where a record was set in July: 50% of all containers from China were transshipped through this station. Overall, the share of РТС Holding transshipment at the Dostyk station is 40%. At the end of the meeting, he invited colleagues from South Korea to the opening of the terminal in Poti, scheduled for December 2024.
