The transport and logistics group Lemtrans (Kyiv), together with Rail Trans Investment (Odesa), has completed the first phase of construction of the Fastiv container terminal, investing approximately $7 million in the first phase.
According to the company’s press release on Friday, two new railway tracks and a container yard capable of storing up to 1,350 TEU have been fully equipped as part of the project.
The company emphasizes that, in line with its growth strategy, the terminal’s throughput capacity is expected to reach 55,000 TEU.
“The completed railway infrastructure allows the terminal to accept full-length trains, which contributes to efficient loading and unloading operations,” Lemtrans emphasized.
It is noted that the terminal offers services such as a container depot and transportation organization, stowage of various categories of cargo (grain, oil, equipment, cars), as well as a customs zone and brokerage services.
In addition, its location makes it possible to organize regular container trains to Odessa and European ports, including Gdansk, Hamburg, Trieste, and others.
According to information from YouControl, Fastiv Container Terminal LLC was registered in 2020 and is owned on a parity basis by Lemtrans, Ukraine’s largest private freight operator, part of Rinat Akhmetov’s SCM Group, and Rail Trans Investment, owned by Oleksandr Prymak.
