The multimodal terminal of the Fiska-Nov company will be launched in the territory of the Hlybotska community (Chernivtsi region), near the border with Romania, the community’s press service reported.
“The launch of this terminal will be an important step in the development of transport infrastructure, increase the transit potential of the region, and contribute to economic growth at both the local and national levels. In addition, its location near the border with Romania gives it strategic importance for transportation between Ukraine and the European Union,” the community said.
The facility’s infrastructure includes six railway tracks and special equipment that allows for transshipment between Ukrainian 1,520 mm gauge and European 1,435 mm gauge railcars. The terminal will also accept cargo by road. The purchased and installed load cells are designed to ensure accurate weight control of cargo during loading and unloading.
The Fiska-Nov company plans to create about 100 new jobs.
Oleg Nivievsky, Chairman of the Center for Food and Land Use Research at the Kyiv School of Economics, praised the community’s initiative on Telegram, which took advantage of the feasibility study developed by KSE in 2023 for the construction of a dry port on the border with Poland.
“The result was quite unexpected but pleasant — such projects are economically viable even without state support. Why is this important? Because improving and increasing the capacity of communications with the EU is a kind of insurance against a ‘crazy’ neighbor. In other words, it is something that can be supported with taxpayers’ money, but here the result is that everything looks good without support,” the scientist summed up.
