JSC “Ukrzaliznytsia” transported 10.302 million tons of cargo in July, which is 9.2% more than in June this year.
“Domestic transportation, exports and imports have grown. Only transit has not grown, because it is practically non-existent. The transportation of most of our key cargoes has increased: grain, ore, coal, ferrous metals, diesel, building materials, etc. Vehicle transportation has dipped , coke, scrap metal, salt and oil,” Alexander Kamyshin, head of the railway company, wrote on his Telegram channel on the evening of August 1.
According to the data he provided, in July 2022 UZ transported 542 thousand tons of oil and oil products (an increase of 12.2%), 2.033 million tons of ore raw materials (+3.2%), 1.462 million tons of grain (+7.2% ) and 6.266 million tons of other cargoes (+11.6%).
“Yes, the growth is slow. We are doing everything possible for the constant growth of freight traffic, primarily export cargo. I hope that the unblocking of seaports for grain will help us increase grain exports faster,” Kamyshin said.
In domestic traffic, UZ transported 6.2 million tons in July, which is 10.5% more than in June this year.
3.4 million tons of cargo were transported for export, which is 8.7% more than a month earlier.
