Rail container transportation in Ukraine in the first seven months of 2024 amounted to 160,268 thousand twenty-foot equivalent units (TEUs), which is 58% more than in the same period last year, said Valery Tkachev, Deputy Director of the Department of Transportation Technology and Commercial Work of Ukrzaliznytsia (UZ).
“This means that we have a record volume of transportation in seven months. It even surpassed the pre-war figures,” he said at a meeting of the export office on Wednesday.
In addition, the Liski Transport Service Center is going to start signing long-term contracts with cargo owners for the use of fitting platforms for a specific period of time and at a fixed price, which will depend on the volume of transportation, Ukrzaliznytsia reported.
