28 November , 2016  

KYIV. Nov 28 (Interfax-Ukraine) – PJSC Ukrzaliznytsia in the ten months of 2016 increased grain transportation by 12.6% compared to the same period of 2015, but complains about delays in grain wagon return on the part of grain shippers.

According to a company press release, the company will be able to significantly increase grain handling if grain shippers reduce the circulation of grain wagons and stop delaying cars under loading operations.

“Thus, more than 500 loaded grain cars have accumulated only at two port stations in Odesa region – Illichivsk and Kseniyeve,” Ukrzaliznytsia said.
