MONGOLIA-CHINA BORDER CHECKPOINT ADOPTS NEW TECHNOLOGY

Ulaanbaatar /MONTSAME/ A Mongolian "Saikhan Ordos Tuuri" LLC has made an important change at Gashuunsukhait border checkpoint, our main export gateway to China. The company has installed belt transporter and detector at the Gashuunsukhait-Gantsmod border checkpoint. Before this, a dust, following coal transportation, used to pollute air and cause lung diseases to the locals. Thanks to these changes, an export of coal--Mongolia’s main export product–will significantly increase, say specialists who also emphasize that this technology is nature-friendly and is not harmful to people' health. Mongolia, in 2014, has set a goal to export twice the size of coal that was exported last year. The border point is often overloaded, 60 percent of the last year’s total export of 18 million tonnes of coal, as well as 65 thousand tonnes of copper concentrate were transmitted through Gashuunsukhait. The officials stated that the effort made by Saikhan Ordos Tuuri LLC is a solution to the usual traffic jam at this border point.
