logistics corridors. on instructions from the president, their expansion is going towards the eastern, azov-black sea and caspian directions and, accordingly, further to the persian gulf. this is necessary to strengthen trade ties with partners in the eurasian economic union, the collaboration of independent states, as well as countries in the middle east, africa, and asia. and russia is ready to develop bilateral relations with everyone who is open to constructive relations. mutually beneficial cooperation, the implementation of the plans will require serious reserves, production capacities, accelerating the construction of infrastructure, but above all, we are talking about railways. the head of state emphasized the importance of developing the baikal-amur trans-siberian railway and gave instructions to increase the throughput capacity in the eastern testing area to 180 million tons per year by the end of next year. in general

, over 10 years this figure has already increased by more than one and a half times, well, in the current one, it will reach 173 mil, according to our forecasts, by the end of this decade it will exceed 210 million tons. indeed, changes in cargo logistics are dramatic, especially over the last 2 years; external restrictions and barriers have led to the fact that, on the contrary, we have been able to achieve very good results. good rates of transportation, and of course, what is very important is not to slow them down. strengthening the capabilities of railways sets the vector for the development of the mining and manufacturing industries, orders from our domestic enterprises will increase, thousands of new high-tech jobs will open, which will naturally affect the quality of life of people in the regions. and, of course, the government continues to pay special attention to creating the infrastructure of the northern sea route. as

the shortest route between asia and europe. we are not only expanding the nuclear icebreaker fleet, but also introducing a digital ecosystem that will provide shipowners with the necessary data and services for safer, more comfortable navigation in the arctic zone. international transport corridors end at seaports. and due to the growth in cargo transshipment volumes, many of them need reconstruction and therefore their modernization is actively underway, as well as the modernization of checkpoints on the state border. today we just looked at the new technologies that will be used at these checkpoints. it is imperative that the construction of modern infrastructure be synchronized with plans to increase export and import operations. the second direction is strengthening the connectivity of the territories to increase the mobility of our population. it is important

to rely on the opinion of citizens in resolving these issues, on local residents to see which routes, which types of transport are the most in demand, the most significant, this is the same feedback that our president constantly talks about, the ability to travel around the country as a whole and the quality of life of people is significantly influenced by the situation with the state of the road infrastructure, from the beginning in 2018 , about 650 km of federal... regional highways were built and reconstructed in russia, this is almost three times more than a year earlier, and over 10,000 km were repaired. need to keep up the pace construction of highways. as the head of state noted, by the end of 2024, the industry must reach a new milestone, bring 85% of the roads in our largest cities to standard condition, which will further increase traffic safety and driver comfort.

the activity of builders is now noticeable in almost all regions, a section of the p-217 highway , the caucasus, has been expanded, this is in the republic of dagestan, road bypasses of aksay and krasnodar have been launched on the m4, on the don highway, bridges have been put into operation across the yenesei in the krasnoyarsk territory and across the sver river in the leningrad region, today we launched the movement between the republics of chuvaash and tatarstan, in december it will be completely open. section of the m12 highway, east from moscow to kazania, its total length will exceed 800 km. the expansion of our air traffic will also help strengthen connectivity; civil aviation was able to overcome the main difficulties caused by sanctions and is now gaining momentum. large-scale plans are being implemented to revive the domestic aviation industry. the airfield infrastructure is being actively modernized all over the country. dozens of airports are getting

modern runways that can accommodate any type of aircraft. including in pevek in magnitogorsk, in yakutsk today we spoke at the stand with the head of the federal air transport agency about this , as a result, the regional route network is growing, in 9 months russian airlines transported over 80 million people, this is even higher than the forecast we had, growth compared to the same period last year 11.5% with all sanctions restrictions, friends, the president instructed to bring passenger traffic at the end of the year up to 103 million people , and of course, it is necessary to implement this decision , the port infrastructure, inland water transport facilities are being dynamically updated, and we are also carrying out dredging work, including on the volga and donna, creating attractive conditions for our investors who are ready to invest in

the construction of the most modern ships. i would like to note that in january and september the river fleet transported 9.5 million passengers, which is almost 20% more than a year earlier, and well of course, we are directing enormous efforts to the development of the most popular type of public transport, railway, its demand is confirmed by the number of our people who travel by train, over 9 months it has grown by 4%, reaching almost 900 million people, the creation of main infrastructure, renewal and repair of tracks will also continue , bridges, tunnels, stations, terminals, implementation... of digital technologies to improve traffic safety, including, the investment program of the russian railways company will be aimed at these purposes this year, literally recently, we adopted at the government meeting; its volume will be a record size, over 1 trillion rubles. another

task is to increase the accessibility of transportation. to do this, it is necessary to create conditions for competition among transport companies and introduce effective market regulation mechanisms. in this case, those who take measures to reduce costs, including through the introduction of the latest new technologies, should benefit. it is necessary to continue the qualitative renewal of urban rolling stock, primarily passenger transport in our regions. it is very important that automobile companies have the opportunity to order new, modern equipment of our domestic production, including those running on electricity using inexpensive and environmentally friendly fuel. and such... measures are now being taken to reduce the logistics costs of russian companies. the cost of delivering goods and cargo largely determines the development of the economy in our country. the next, fourth direction is the achievement of full-fledged technological

sovereignty. the key condition for the stable functioning of the russian transport complex is its independence from foreign manufacturers. when transporting passengers and cargo. development and, most importantly , to prevent the industry from falling behind. the same applies to digitalization. the use of advanced solutions and services increases the speed of cargo delivery, promotes seamless logistics, and directly affects the level of passenger comfort. today we got acquainted with some solutions in this area during the inspection of the exhibition and i want to note that now the project to introduce electronic queues at checkpoints is progressing. vitali gennady is just now. showed that this year it was launched on the first few sections of the state border, including in zabaikalsk, and there are a number of digital products that, already for the first year, which have been confirming their effectiveness in practice, for example, well

the eraglanaz system is known to all motorists. the fifth task is the task of transport integration of new entities, donetsk and lugansk. zaporozhye and kherson regions, for their full involvement in the socio-economic life of our country, it is necessary to take systematic measures to restore the entire infrastructure, and it has already been repaired, today we heard at the stand , almost 1500 km of highway, several dozen artificial road structures have been made, and they also take an active part in this about thirty regions, thanks to which this year the construction of an additional more than 400 km of routes will be completed. more about one of the main areas of training qualified personnel. today specialized education is provided by almost two dozen industry universities, and every sixth student in russia chooses a profession that is related to the field of

transport. at the same time, young people acquire not only classical knowledge, but what is very important and we talked about this at the stands today, they study new technologies, including. control of drones, unmanned aircraft systems are being very actively implemented today; in the coming years they may become very widespread in all spheres of our life. education science have a rich history. next year marks the 150th anniversary of the birth of academician vladimir nikolaevich obraztsov, who made a huge contribution to the development of the country’s transport system. the government decided to establish a prize in the field of transport science and technology named after this outstanding scientist. the corresponding resolution has been signed. i am sure that the new award will be a good incentive for research and development. dear friends, the forum traditionally

takes place on the eve of your professional holiday, employee’s day transport. i would like to sincerely congratulate all industry employees, dear veterans, on the upcoming holiday. thanks to the dedicated work of millions of people who have connected their professional lives with the transport complex, uninterrupted transportation of people is ensured. cargo makes a significant contribution to improving the well-being of our people and, of course, achieving the national goals set by the head of state. i wish the forum participants to establish strong business contacts; of course, i hope that during discussions during the exchange of experience , interesting ideas and proposals will appear, which will primarily help strengthen the efficiency of the country’s transport system. thank you and good luck. thank you.

boldly forward, ladavesta, boldly forward.

is collapsing, we have reached a sustainable growth trajectory, or maybe... yes, thank you for the question, of course, of course, you are absolutely right, and our transport complex is always very sensitive to any sanctions and any adversity, be it during this period or now we are in ours with you, and of course that what mikhail vladimirovich spoke about, i can personally confirm, i would like to say a few words, in general, we certainly do not experience any problems today, we

had the most sensitive moment, this was aviation, when we made difficult decisions, when we left the entire fleet of aircraft in our country, this is the situation, i would like to say a little more broadly about the transport complex of the country, it seems to me that this is very important, especially our historical past, so the transport complex of the country today shows absolutely positive dynamics of development in all areas and now we are achieving record figures for the construction, repair and reconstruction of highways. the key priority in terms of railways is the eastern range. and we will ensure carrying capacity, this year there are already 173 million tons, 180 million tons next year, 2024. and we have worked on the issue, this is 210 million by 2030. there are even more serious sketches, but we are together. while we are preparing to gradually develop our eastern training ground. regarding international

cooperation, we have entered into an agreement with iran to build a section of the rechna stora railway and we hope to launch traffic in 2028. and by the end of the year we will ensure a draft of 4.5 m on the volga-caspian shipping canal. i'm talking about these at least two projects - these are two sub-corridors, the north and south corridors. i think my colleagues will go into more detail about this. will say, but we are moving in this direction, a lot of work is being done, for example, for the first time we were able to sample a recess, such as a channel. volga of the caspian, and it is not small, 188 km, we will choose more than 10 million cubic meters, and we have, as it were, the average was always 2-3 million cubic meters, last year five, this year there are already more than ten, we continue work on the bogaevsky and gorodets hydroelectric complexes, which will raise the water level in the volga on the don by more than 4 m, which is very important

for ensuring a normal river traffic, in russia we have 63 seaports , taking into account the annexation of the port... mariupol and berdiansk. and by the end of the year, we plan to reach a transshipment level of 850 million tons. and i want to tell you that last year, as an example, we handled 842 million tons, that is there is a growth rate and we see it; this year we will complete the reconstruction of 73 checkpoints and work has already been completed on 53. and russian airlines operate 1,165 passenger aircraft today. this is as of today. and at the end of the year, as mikhail vladimirovich said, the plan that, the task that was set for us by the president, to transfer 103 million tons, will certainly be completed, and we launched six unmanned trucks at the st. petersburg economic forum and next year we expect additional cars from kamaz and

sberbank, and dear colleagues, transport week has become a landmark event for the entire industry; we have been holding it since 2007. the exhibition presents the future of domestic transport. i consider it important to say a few words about the history of the creation of the transport complex of our country. and the ministry of transport of russia, which i have the honor to head, has already entered its fourth year, was created from seven independent sectoral ministries, these are the ministry of railways and communications, the ministry of river fleet, the ministry of the marine fleet, the ministry construction and operation of mobile roads, the ministry of road transport and the ministry of transport construction and the ministry of civil aviation of the ussr. next year, the transport department of our country will celebrate its 215th anniversary. first established by alexander’s decree, throughout its history it has carried out tasks on a national scale, creating something that changed people’s lives for a generation to come. and

so, while developing the industry, the transport complex was formed behind the industry. country, and we must remember this. large infrastructure projects have always required significant financial and human resources. i would like to remind you of the story of almost two centuries ago, the construction of the first russian tsarsko-selo railway . who didn’t work for her? from a young engineer and future first minister of communications pavel petrovich melnikov to the chief manager of communications of the russian empire. karl tol, they managed to convince the objecting scientists of the ministry of finance of the russian empire of the vital need to create railways. ultimately great statesman and actual privy councilor mikhail spiransky convinced nicholas ii to build the country's first steel highway. but you see the result today:

russia has become a completely different country. we, like our predecessors, do not have time to repeat that investing in transport... is always an investment in the future. another example of the continuity of history and ideas. this year, traffic will be launched, or rather traffic has already been launched on the moscow central diameters msd-3 and msd-4. oh, by the way, the idea for this post belongs to professor miita of our university, academician vladimir nikolaevich obrazov, as mikhail vladimirovich mishustin just said, that his prize will be established, and we hope to see it. among the laureates present, and so back in 1921, i want to emphasize, he proved the need to transfer all freight traffic to a roundabout, to a circular railway, now mcc. according to the academician’s idea, the suburban railway service should have been combined with the metro, imagine, 1921. this made

it possible to provide non-stop passenger service between the suburbs and any point in the city center. many ideas for the development of railway communication, put forward exemplary almost 100 years ago, are being successfully implemented today in moscow and other large cities. next year the baikal-amur mainline turns 50 years old, meanwhile, the first projects of bam appeared in 1880, when the construction of the trans-siberian railway began. the idea of ​​​​building bam again became relevant when discussions began on the possible directions of the eastern part. strange siberian railway route, like it was called then, and the highway to the east in each period of time solved pressing economic and geopolitical problems, i must say, solved them successfully. road transport remained the main one in the transport framework of our state. and i am sure that for many years they will determine the connectivity of territories, accessibility,

transportation of goods and passengers. of course, those who stood at the origins of the creation of the russian transport industry would today envy us our capabilities and our technologies. few people have had the opportunity to see in their lifetime how their own ideas are brought to life. just like two centuries ago, we continue to solve problems on a generational scale. today, without transport science it is impossible to provide competent answers and solutions to the challenges of our time. you asked the question how i see transport, transport could be the future, but in my opinion, it primarily consists of ensuring the connectivity of our territories with transport operating on fundamentally new technological solutions. a striking example of such a future will be the construction of high-speed railway line from moscow to... st. petersburg, for this purpose a modern rolling stock will be developed, which will technically surpass all existing analogues.

an equally important technology used today by russian railways is virtual coupling, thanks to which several trains today can travel at a short distance from each other, which makes it possible to reduce the intervals of passing trains by almost half, and russia, with its vast expanses, cannot do without and without development aviation. our country already has experience in relevant developments, and what is important, the operation of the tu-144 supersonic aircraft. yes, this machine was ahead of its time, and today it is necessary to create such an airliner, but on the new technological basis we have all the necessary developments. technologies that recently seemed to be in the future are already coming to life. for example, we are talking about autonomous navigation. this year we launched. two ports were put into operation, marshal rakosovsky and general chernyakhovsky on the st. petersburg-lenin line. they are equipped with such system. the time is coming for new technologies,

artificial intelligence and unmanned systems, their implementation is changing the existing logistics of passengers and cargo. this year, unmanned cargo transportation was launched; it demonstrates the efficiency and safety of railway water transport. a new branch of the economy is emerging in the country, which... in 12 years will give the market at least 1 million units of unmanned aircraft systems alone. at the same time, let's not forget that many technologies currently used in world, were first developed in the soviet union. to give just a few examples, the tu-155 aircraft runs on liquid hydrogen on liquefied natural gas. he performed more than 100 flights and set 14 world records. the tu-95 plane took to the skies.... with a nuclear power plant, in terms of railway transport, magnetic levitation trains, or as we call magliv, and were developed back in the seventies and eighties, it

was planned to build such a railway line in armenia, but the collapse of the soviet union, unfortunately, i did not allow this project to be realized. at the junction of the past and present , the future is created and i am glad that we have the opportunity to ensure this effective connection and increase our transport potential. now, together with us, i would like together with you, i would like to greet the honored transport worker , who is taking part in our meeting, who made a huge contribution to the development of railways, twice minister of railways, full holder of the order of merit for the fatherland, my adviser gennady matvevich fodeev , thank you to you for everything, gennady matveevich, i also greet the ministers of transport, whom i see today, and levitin. who has done a lot for the transport industry, i welcome dietrich evgeniy ivanovich, who also fulfilled his role, working as the minister

of transport, and maxim yuryevich sokolov was here, he was apparently absent, presenting awards, but he was also a minister for almost 6 years helping the development of the transport complex , dear colleagues, i take this opportunity to invite all of you, participants in the plenary discussion, to attend the opening on november 25 exposition of russia's nomination at vdnkh. andrei ramovich belausov and i will hold this opening at 11:00, we will be grateful and glad to see you all. thank you for your attention. thank you very much, vitali gennadievich, just in continuation of your words that we are developing, despite all the pressure that is being put on our great country, i want to ask a question, a little bit, you know, to remember what happened in the past year, sometimes it is useful to do this. yes, during transport week, and when andrei removich announced that that, uh, we are in such, or rather, we could, could find ourselves in, a transport blockade,

which, well... our so-called bosom ill-wishers want to organize for russia. andreyvich, here we are, what are we, these are the conditions we are in now , we managed to break through this transport blockade, and a year ago, when we gathered in this hall, indeed, of course, we were all full of optimism, we were confident in success in victory, but nevertheless, the result had not yet been finally achieved, we understood that the uncertainty and risks are very high, today, well, in fact, the task of breaking the transport blockade to a significant extent can already be removed from the agenda, replacing it with the task of development, here the numbers speak for themselves, if we talk about the three main transport

corridors. in the eastern corridor, the corridor towards the azov-black sea basin and the north-south corridor, then this year along these three corridors we will transport about 500 million tons of cargo, which is an absolute record and about 10% more than this here is the pre-war twenty-first year, and this it was, of course, the merit of everyone... those who work in the transport industry, the most complex, in-demand corridor is certainly the eastern one, along it we will transport out of these 500 million, approximately 300 million, and about 10% more cargo. twenty-first year, and here over the past year several, from my point of view, outstanding results were achieved, and of course, everything was in the air

gennadvich is waiting for me to say now about the investment program of russian railways, i will definitely say it, but i would still put the decision first container problem, we we remember how last year, around this time, the situation with containers in the far east was aggravated, and over the past year we managed to completely solve it, thanks to the development of transport and logistics centers, thanks to the creation of rear sites, of course, thanks to masterful solutions and technological and logistics solutions for russian railways, today this problem has been practically reduced to zero, now, of course, about the investment program, i just want to remind you that we are all used to it, that on the oba transiby the volume,

the annual volume of investments there amounted to 60-70-80 billion rubles a year, this year russian railways - this can already be said as a fait accompli, uh, will master, and this physical development, not paper, not price, will master 250 billion rubles of investment, next year the task is to master 350, next year is the final year, let me remind you, of the second stage of mamotransib and we... with great, well, almost with very high confidence, we can now say that this is the goal, which the president set for us, to reach 180 million in the twenty-fourth year tons of transportation capacity, uh, along the bam transibo, well, i think, on the night of december 31, january 1, we will complete the twenty-fourth year,

and of course, i also cannot help but note one of the achievements of last year, we managed to transfer almost 30 million tons through land, land, checkpoints, this is also a record, uh, and this record was achieved due to the fact that we succeeded, including thanks to the personal efforts of the minister of transport, vitar gennavech sovelev, we were able to... expand the modernization of checkpoints and to transfer a number of checkpoints on the eastern border to a three-shift operating mode, this is also not the limit, but this gave us a fairly significant increase in cargo flow, i’m already saying that there were, to be more precise, about 29 million tons of cargo transported in total.
