Ulaanbaatar
Integrated Transport and Logistics Center to Be Established in Hunnu City
Economy
Ulaanbaatar, May 22, 2025 /MONTSAME/. An Integrated Transport and Logistics Center will be established in Hunnu City, a specialized satellite city for public administration, higher education, transport and logistics, tourism, and finance, situated around the Chinggis Khaan International Airport in Khushig Valley
Within the
framework of this plan, a Working Group was formed, and on May 20, 2025, the
Working Group met with representatives of enterprises and associations engaged
in the food and trade services in the capital to exchange views. During the
meeting, representatives of enterprises operating in food supply logistics
emphasized that besides building a laboratory, it is crucial to properly install
the ventilation and cooling system for warehouses from the initial stage. The new
Integrated Transport and Logistics Center will be planned and constructed meeting
international standards, and suggestions and proposals from businesses will be
reflected in the planning.
Annually, 184.6
thousand tons of potatoes and vegetables are demanded for the densely populated
capital. The current storage capacity is 89.1 thousand tons or 43 percent of
the demand. Therefore, there is a need to build new warehouses with a capacity
of 50 thousand tons. The optimal solution is considered the Integrated
Logistics Center in Hunnu City. Currently, there are more than 10 private
terminals and more than 100 enterprises providing transport and logistics
services in the capital.
Ulaanbaatar
city has low efficiency and productivity in terms of transport logistics. Containers
arriving at the railway station in the capital are manually sorted and
distributed to 10 terminals in a small number of wagons. In other words, the
cost per container is high. Also, the equipment of each of the 10 terminals is
not used to its full capacity, or about 40 percent of the cargo unloaded at the
terminals is transported to the rural areas. In addition, every logistics
company wants to have its own dedicated area, but there is no space in the
capital. Therefore, the establishment of the Hunnu City Integrated Transport
and Logistics Center can completely solve these problems, reported the Governor’s
Office of the Capital.
