Capacity and Contacts for In-Country Emergency Response
Government
The State Emergency Commission (SEC) chaired by the Deputy-Prime Minister is the lead decision maker for both political and operational issues during a national emergency. The SEC is responsible for raising issues brought forward by NEMA and the wider humanitarian community with the government such as funding requests and asset requirements. This is activate when an emergency has occurred. The SEC is comprised of 10 key Ministries/Agencies that are responsible for disasters and crisis management. The National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA) is tasked with supporting the SEC in overall crisis management, including interdepartmental and inter agency planning, and is responsible for first response search and rescue. There is an Earthquake commission which is a working group comprising representatives from various ministries and agencies which provides recommendations to the GOM. At the provincial level the governor of each province would lead the emergency response. During emergencies, requests for assistance from the armed forces must be approved by the President. To use military assets such as vehicles or airports all requests must be made through the SEC (State Emergency Committee). They would operate as a separate response unit that would be appointed by the Ministry of Defence to provide transport and manpower.

4.1 Mongolia Government Contact List
Humanitarian Community
There is a Humanitarian Country Team (HCT) comprised of NEMA, UN agencies in Mongolia, the IFRC, World Vision and Save the Children International. Line ministries act as co-leads of the various clusters. There is only a small number of humanitarian agencies in Mongolia. Few agencies hold contingency stock or have warehouse space.

1.3 Mongolia Customs Information
Mongolia Customs Information
The Customs General Administration sits within the Ministry of Finance. It is governed by the Customs Law of Mongolia - 2008. During an emergency the law allows for the movement of goods across the border without the normal customs procedures. When a shipment arrives it may be released before all customs procedures are completed and the paper work for clearing can be done after the fact. It was indicated that there would be no need to apply to the Ministry of Finance for exemption of taxes as would be the normal procedure in non-emergency situations. To clear goods, consignees contact the Customs General Administration of Mongolia directly. The Customs General Administration would then alert the port of entry to facilitate customs clearance.
There is an agreement by the government that during a humanitarian emergency customs and all other agencies at entry points would operate 24 hours a day. Taxes and duties that apply to standard shipments are - 10%VAT and 5% import tax. At each point of entry there are representatives from Customs, Immigration, Border Protection and Agency for Specialized Inspection. UN Agencies and a number of the INGO's in Mongolia have Special Status Agreements with the Government for tax exemption on humanitarian shipments.

Organizational Requirements to obtain Duty Free Status |
---|
United Nations Agencies |
During non emergency situations the UN will follow the same procedure to clear goods through customs as NGO's. As they have an MOU with the Ministry of Finance they are able to get tax exemption. UN Agencies are able to receive an exemption for vehicles, spare parts, office supplies and telecommunications equipment. This cargo can be cleared directly with the respective customs point and there is no need to go to the Ministry of Finance and General Customs Administration Bureau. |
Non Governmental Organizations |
To receive tax exemption during non emergency situations NGO's must have an MOU with the Ministry of Finance. New organisation who have not operated in Mongolia need to send a written request to the Ministry of Finance for exemption which takes approximately 72 hours to process. This then allows them to request an exemption to the Ministry of Finance when they are to clear a shipment. NGO's are unable to receive exemption for vehicles, spare parts, office supplies or telecommunications equipment. |

NOTE: Food, medicine, seed and second hand clothing must be inspected by the General Agency for Specialized Inspection. A sample from each shipment must be lab tested. The General Agency for Specialized Inspection has a representative at each border crossing these are the Department of Border Specialized Inspection (quarantine). If a large shipment of food or medicine is to be imported the consignee can contact the agency and arrange for a sample to be tested in advance. Additionally items such as food, medicine, hospital equipment and second hand clothing requires an import license that must be applied for at the Ministry of Health. If grain is being imported into Mongolia or transited through, a fumigation certificate must be provided.
Transit Regime
Goods being transited through Mongolia will be registered at the port of entry by the customs office. This shipment will then be tracked by the Customs General Administration of Mongolia. Once it gets to the port of exit it will be stamped and the file will be close. This is all done through an online system that links the various customs offices around the country. A freight forwarder is responsible for the safety of the goods.

Key airport information may
also be found at: World Aero Data
information on Mongolia
Ulaanbaatar receives 98% of international flights. Khovd, Choibalsan, and Ulgii have scheduled international flights. Khovd and Choibalsan to Inner Mongolia and Ulgii to Kazakhstan. In the event of Ulaanbaatar International Airport being rendered inoperable, there is a reserve military airport that is administered by the Ministry of Defence. It is located 45km from Ulaanbaatar (near Nalayh) and has a runway length of 3000m but is not of a significant width to land anything over a C130. There is limited information known about this airport, but logistical gaps may include cargo handling equipment, aircraft handling equipment and inadequate storage (none of which is heated).
Few domestic airports have infrastructure that complies with the International Civil Aviation Organization standards, but they mostly have sufficient infrastructure to accommodate the few scheduled domestic services that operate. Mongolia has a total of 21 licensed domestic airports (see annex - Domestic Airports of Mongolia). Nine of these have paved/asphalt runways, and only these and one other have runway lighting. All nine paved/asphalt runways exceed 2,200 m in length and the sixteen unpaved runways exceed 1,600 m. Grass/gravel runways are used for operations by un-pressurized turbo-prop aircraft, such as have been used on domestic services for the last three decades.
Operations during winter can severely hamper air traffic due to inadequate snow clearing and deicing equipment. Domestic air traffic control services were upgraded through an Asian Development Bank loan during the 1990s and are generally now adequate. Mongolia is Signatory to the Chicago Convention on International Civil Aviation from 1989 and number of International Treaties. Mongolia is a party to the International Air Transit Agreement of 1944 from 2004 and a party to the Cargo only related Protocol of the Multilateral Agreement on the Liberalization of International Air Transportation (MALIAT). Civil Aviation Authority of Mongolia (CAAM) sits within the Ministry of Road, Transportation, Construction and Urban Development. They are responsible for aviation safety, airports in Mongolia, registration of aircraft, security. All aircraft handling charges are levied by them and are the same for all airports in Mongolia.
Procedures for Foreign Registered Aircraft
To register a foreign aircraft, the interested party must apply to the Civil Aviation Authority. A form 'B' must be completed (see annex - Flight Request Form). The following documents must also be submitted via email (fpd@mcaa.gov.mn):
- air operator certificate
- aircraft registration certificate
- airworthiness certificate
- radio station license
- pilot license
- pilot medical certificate
- confirmation of A/C ACAS/TCAS and GPWS equipment
This information must be submitted at least 3 days prior for processing.

2.2.1 Mongolia Chinggis Khaan International Airport
For information on Mongolia Chinggis Khaan International Airport contact details, please see the following link 4.4 Mongolia Airport Company Contact List
Chinggis Khaan International Airport is the international airport serving Ulaanbaatar. It is located 18 km West/Southwest of the capital and is the largest international air facility in the country. The international airport faces frequent closures because of strong winds, sand or snow storms. The runway is relatively short for a full service international airport (3100 x 60 meters; maximum size of aircraft: B767) It has limited capacity in terms of aircraft movement, handling equipment, parking area, storage, and passenger/cargo terminal. Chingis Khan International Airport in Ulaanbaatar receives 98% of international flights. Flights are available from Berlin, Moscow, Beijing, Hong Kong, Seoul, Irkutsk, and Tokyo. Construction of a new international airport located at Khoshigt valley, 60 km south of Ulaanbaatar, will start in 2012 and planned to be finished before 2016:

2.3 Mongolia Road Network
Mongolia Road Network
For information on Mongolia Road Network contact details, please see the following link 4.1 Mongolia Government Contact List
Mongolia has a state road network of just over 12,660km, of which only about 2,244 km are paved, 1,440 km has a gravel surface and 1,346 km has an improved earth surface. Over 6,900 km is earth tracks. Most overland roads in Mongolia are gravel roads or simple cross-country tracks, and most of these are not reliable year-round; consequently, loading capacity is limited. Lack of snow or ice clearing in winter and no system of sanding or gritting road surfaces leads to ice formation that lasts for a long time and slows traffic. At present only two paved road leads to a border post, the road from Ulaanbaatar to the Russian border and the road to the Bulgan border post with China in the west of Mongolia. The road south to the Chinese border at Zamyn Uud currently has about 450km of unpaved road. Other paved roads from Ulaanbaatar exist but are very limited (500 km westward and 250 km eastward). Some road construction projects are currently underway (construction of the east–west so-called Millennium Road) and others are under consideration (a third paved border road, in Western Mongolia linking China to Russia).
Road construction and maintenance fall under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Road, Transportation, Construction and Urban development of Mongolia. TRANSIT TIMES/COST - trucks are approximately 2 times more expensive than train. From Tianjin - Zamyn-Uud by truck is 2-3 days. Before embarking on any journey, local advise is to seek information from bus or trucking companies to determine the latest conditions. Distances can be deceiving. 100 km can take anything from one to four hours depending on the road and weather. Often there will be 30 or 40km of paved road leading away from a town such as Khovd or Saishand but then it will turn into a braiding of dirt track for hundreds of kilometres where the driver will choose one of several tracks running through open ground. There are few bridges on the dirt roads so fords are common. Traffic is very light, ranging from one to twenty vehicles per hour. Ministry of Road, Transportation, Construction and Urban Development of Mongolia manage the process. Private licensed companies, through a tender process maintain and build the roads. Funding for road development projects is through loans, technical assistance, grants, and other aid received sources such as the World Bank, Asian Development bank,European Union, Japanese Government, and Kuwait fund for Arabic Development.

Road Security
Road security is good though there are safety issues due to cold temperatures in winter and the isolated nature of many roads. Some humanitarian agencies require that travel to areas that are not on the main roads are done in a two car convoy and many cars are equipped with GPS.

There are no weighbridges in Mongolia. In rural Mongolia there are no axle load limits. Trucks over 2mt are not permitted in the inner city of Ulaanbaatar. There are also no axle load limits on the roads from borders posts with Russia or China.
Road Class and Surface Conditions
Mongolia is part of the Asian Highway Network which is a cooperative project among countries in Asia and Europe and the Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific(ESCAP), to improve the highway systems in Asia. The roads in Mongolia follow the classification used by the Asian Highway Network. Mongolia has no primary or Class I or II roads. Most routes in the country are either class III of IV or a mixture of both. There are few complete sections of roads with consistent surface cover so it is not possible to break it down into sections of road and their classes. Often there will be 30 or 40km of paved road leading away from a town such as Khovd or Saishand. It will then turn into a braiding of dirt track for hundreds of kilometres, where the driver will choose one of several tracks running through open ground.

4.9 Mongolia Railway Company Contact List
The Mongolian rail network comprises 1,815 km of broad gauge track, of which 1,110 km are on the main line linking Russia to China, 238 km are on a separate network in Eastern Mongolia that has its own link to the Russian railway, and the remaining 477 km are branches from the main line (going to Erdenet and Baganuur). Erdenet is 164km south west of Darkhan (off the main Sukhbaatar - Zamyn-Uud Lint). Baganuur is 94km east (off the main Sukhbaatar - Zamyn-Uu d Line). It branches off between UB and Choir. The Trans-Mongolian railway is a single track, has a limited capacity and is vulnerable to damage from natural disasters such as earthquake. The gauge is the same as that in Russia but there is a different gauge in China. Therefore, each carriage (freight and passengers) needs to have its bogies changed at the Chinese border which can take several hours.
Maximum train weights have now reached 6,000 gross tons. Transit rail freight has increased from about 15 percent of total rail freight ton km in 1990 to about 25 percent by 2005, and it now provides an even larger share of railway freight revenue. With the additional new prospect of transporting significant mining output to China, the existing single track railway linking Russia to China through Ulaanbaatar has not sufficient capacity to transport all the available freight. The maximum capacity of the railway per year is 25 million tonnes. Currently approximately 18 million tonnes are moved per year. In 2007, rail transport carried 93% of Mongolian freight and 43% of passenger turnover (in tons/km and passenger/km, respectively). During heavy rain bridges can be damaged. Snow and blowing snow can cause delays.
TRANSIT TIMES: Tianjin to UB: 8 - 10 days and Vladivostok to UB: 8 - 10 days

Railway Companies and Consortia
All of the railway lines that are currently in Mongolia are maintained and owned by Ulaanbaatar Railway. This is a joint venture between the governments of Russia and Mongolia who each hold a 50% share. Russia and Mongolia signed an agreement for the development of an additional 6,000 kilometres. Russia’s railway monopoly OAO Russian Railways is prepared to invest US$1.5 billion towards this train network to help boost trade between the two countries. The extensions to the line are to be build by a recently formed organisation Mongolian Railway. This is 100% owned by the Mongolian Government. The two countries also signed an agreement to extend the Ulaanbaatar Railway network, which is a Russian/Mongolian joint venture, by a further US$250 million in capital to extend capacity to the Tavan Tolgoi coal deposits in the South Gobi.
Phase 1 of the extension of the railway network is:
- Dalanzadgad – Tavan Tolgoi – Tsagaan Suvarga – Sainshand (555 km);
- Sainshand – Baruun-Urt (350 km);
- Baruun-Urt – Khuut (140 km);
- Khuut – Choibalsan (150 km).

Key Route Information
The Trans-Mongolian railway runs from Sukhbaatar on the border with Russia, through Ulaanbaatar to Zamyn-Uud on the border with China. It consists of 1,110 km of single track line. It is has a gauge of 1520mm (4 ft 11 5⁄6 in) as does Russia. China's rail system has a standard gauge of 1,435 mm (4 ft 8 1⁄2in) so the bogies must be changed when trains move between these two countries. This can take several hours. Each day there are between 11 and 18 trains running on this line. There can be issues during winter with snow on the tracks causing closures for up to a couple of days at a time. There can also be issues with blowing sand on the southern section of the line in the Gobi Desert. This section of railway line has 4 large bridges that are 100-150 metres long. If they were to be damaged, Ulaanbaatar Railway does not have the capacity to repair them and so the line would be closed for an extended period of time. There are customs clearance facilities in Sukhbaatar, Ulaanbaatar (City Customs), Darkhan, Erdenet and Zamyn-Uud. Approximate transit time from Tianjin - Ulaanbaatar is approximately 10 days by train.
The Trans- Mongolian Railway runs from Beijing through Ulaanbaatar and onto a junction called Zaudinsky, near Ulan Ude in Russia. Here it meets the Trans-Siberian line which continues onto Moscow to the west and Vladivostok to the east. China - The transit time from Tianjin (port near Beijing) to Ulaanbaatar is approximately 8-10 days by train. Generally freight is trucked to the Mongolian border and then loaded on trains at Zamyn-Uud to be freighted through to Ulaanbaatar. The cargo handling capacity at the Mongolia/China border is limited and there can often be delays in loading containers onto the train. The averaged cost to ship a 20ft container from Tianjin to Ulaanbaatar is $3000 USD and $4500 USD for a 40ft container. China does not have wagons to carry bulk cargo such as wheat. Russia - Freight can be brought from Vladivostok to Ulaanbaatar (approximately 8 days) and the average cost for a 20ft container is $4000 USD and $6000 USD for a 40ft container. This will depend on railway wagon availability and rental charges. Freight via train is considerably cheaper than via trucks, though often takes longer

For information on Mongolia Waterways contacts details, please see the following link 4.3 Mongolia Port and Waterways Company Contact List
Mongolia has a total of 580 km of waterways but only Lake Khovsgol (North/North-West, Russian border) has boats that operate on a regular basis. The lakes and rivers freeze over in the winter and are usually open between May and September.
Lake Khovsgol
The lake is 101km north of Moron and is 2140m above sea level. It is 136km from south (Hatgal) to north (Hanh) of the lake. Most of these boats that travel on the lake are charted for tourist travel. The largest boat operating on the lake is the Sukhbaatar, that can carry 140 passengers and is operated by Nomin Company. It takes approximately 7 hours (and one tonne of diesel) to get from Hatgal to Hanh. There are approximately 30 smaller motor boats that have a carrying capacity of 5-12 people. These can be rented on an hourly basis.
Other Waterways
The Selenge (270 km) and Orkhon (175 km) rivers are navigable but see little boat traffic. There is a customs boat that patrols the Selenge to the Russian border.

4.5 Mongolia Storage and Milling Company Contact List
Storage can be difficult to find. There is a lack of good quality storage in Mongolia. There are older concrete structures that are often used for storing stock feed. Most warehousing in Mongolia has no temperature control which poses a challenge during winter where temperatures can drop to minus 45. NEMA is able to make storage space available in most provincial centres but these are generally used to store fodder and are of varying quality. There are 24 companies which have been certified to operate customs bonded warehouses in Mongolia (see annex - Customs Bonded Warehouses and Temporary Storage). Commercial companies such as Tavan Bogd Group and Tuushin Co and government ministries may be able to provide space in secure locations for the erection of mobile storage units.
The approximate rates:
- Standard warehouse 1m2 - 5,000 tg per month
- Refrigerated warehouse 1 ton - 1,750 tg per day
Commercial Storage
There are a number of larger holding companies such as Nomin and Tavan Bodg Group that have public storage including cold storage and temperature controlled warehouses. Most of this is located in Ulaanbaatar.

Discharge rate for wheat is approximately - 50 minutes to unload 60mt (train wagon) Loading rate for flour - 120mt in an hour. Packaged flour is put on pallets and loaded into trucks or train with forklifts. |
Transport Capacity at Mill |
---|
The mill has a number of smaller trucks for local flour distribution (8-10mt trucks). The mill is on the main train line so much of the wheat is delivered by train and the flour shipped out by rail also. Trucks are also used to transport wheat to the factory from suppliers that are not near a railway station. |

3.1 Mongolia Fuel
Mongolia Fuel
For information on Mongolia fuel contact details, please see the following link: 4.6 Mongolia Fuel Provider Contact List
Mongolia relies heavily on its northern neighbor for its fuel supply. 90% of fuel is imported from Russia making Mongolia vulnerable to supply shortages.Availability can be an issue due to temporary limitation/restrictions. In the first half of 2011 fuel reserves got dangerously low, leading to rationing of fuel and a permit system being introduced. There are approximately 10 large companies that import fuel into Mongolia. A number of them have depots close to Ulaanbaatar and in aimag centres (see annex - Customs Bonded Warehouses and Temporary Storage for a list of locations and capacity of the fuel storage of various companies). The government does not have any large fuel depots. There are a number of importers and distributors of fuels. Each company arranges importation of fuel (primarily from Russia) and has their own storage depots from which they arrange distribution around the country. Most fuel is imported by train and then delivery around Mongolia is done by truck. The main fuel suppliers are NIC, MT, Just, Sod Mongol and Petro Jump.
Information may also be found at: http://www.mytravelcost.com/Mongolia
Fuel Pricing
Fuel pricing is monitored by the Mongolian Fuel Agency. There is 15% tax applied to fuel - 10% VAT and 5% import tax.

3.4 Mongolia Manual Labor Costs
Mongolia Manual Labor Costs
The unemployment rate in Mongolia is under 10% (2011) and is slowly decreasing. In most urban areas including Ulaanbaatar and provincial capitals there is a ready supply of informal workers. Each aimag (province) has its own regional union. There are also 12 sectorial unions such as those representing teachers, service workers, energy/geologist/miners, agricultural/environmental workers etc. Many of these unioins are resonably new and as yet are not very active but increasingly they are becoming involved in brokering enterprise bargain agreements for their members.
People tend to use word of mouth, local papers and other forms of classifieds to find work rather than relying on employment agencies. The monthly wage (40 hour week) for an unskilled labourer is approximately 140,000 but for workers in construction it can be up to 500,000. The minimum wage for unskilled labour is set at 835.7 T an hour. Mining in the south of the country is causing the price of labour to increase in those areas.
