The new project will involve both rail and sea transport. The products will be transported from India to the Iranian city of Bandar Abbas on the coast of the Persian Gulf, then – to Bandar-e Anzali, on the coast of the Caspian Sea, from where they will travel to the Russian city of Astrakhan by sea, then to Europe by rail.
The new route will be cheaper and shorter than the Suez Canal because the time and cost of transportation will be reduced by 30-40%.

The new route will allow annual transport of 20-30 million tons of cargo....Fort Russ News
