In addition, about 60 ships from other Caspian states enter Kazakhstan's ports on a permanent basis.Taking into account the intensity of the use of ships in the Kazakhstan sector of the Caspian Sea and the volume of transported oil and fuel, there is a very high risk of pollution from ships in the territorial seas of our country and, accordingly, irreparable damage. In this regard, to ensure the discharge of "zero" waste water from sea vessels, the rules for their prevention were approved by the order of the head of the RK IIDM. They are aimed at implementing the technical requirements of the International Convention for the Prevention of Pollution from Ships (MARPOL Convention).

It allows to ensure the observance of the harmonized international requirements for risk reduction and, accordingly, to avoid the delay of domestic ships in foreign ports due to their violation, as well as to reduce the probability of expenses on the part of the ship owner to eliminate the consequences of marine environment pollution.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/mps/press/news/details/26689?lang=kk

Tariff adjustment will not exceed the expected inflation limit.Thus, ticket prices on 38 routes are expected to increase by 7%, on 3 routes by 3%. However, there will be no change in the ticket price of 16 routes.This is done due to the tender applications of several carriers. And the carrier is responsible for the risks of reduced income on these routes.Tariff increase for suburban trains is 37%. This is due to the increase of base rates for passenger transportation on suburban trains.For example, the previous base price of suburban trains was 324 tenge per 100 km. And it was 3-4 times higher on highways.In order to reduce transportation costs in the suburbs, the base rate will be increased by 30%, and the price will be 464 tenge per 100 km.Thus, the upcoming amendments will allow to increase the efficiency of passenger transportation on socially important routes.Photo taken from open sourceSource : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/mps/press/news/details/26064?lang=kk
