Railway commercial and market studies

Three consulting assignments in 2009 for railway-sector companies. For Passenger Transportation JSC, a methodology was developed for allocating costs and revenues by train, differentiated by wagon type. For Kaztemirtrans JSC, a mechanism was developed for managing the company's economic security and pricing policy as a means of improving its competitiveness. For Kaztransservice JSC, the rail and road container transport market was analysed, including the potential to shift cargo from road haulage to container transport, the Kazakhstan–China market for container carriers and containerisable cargo in export, import and transit, and ways to increase container flows.
