UZ can create a joint railway system with Poland and Lithuania

“Ukrzaliznytsia” together with Polish and Lithuanian companies plan to create a joint railway system.

Thus, UZ and the group of companies of Lithuanian Railways LTG, LTG Carg agreed on the implementation of the joint project “Operational model of FREE Rail”. This was reported on the Ukrzaliznytsia website.

The goal of the project is to increase the carrying capacity of the transport infrastructure. It is about the creation of a stable railway system and the development of freight and passenger transport on the 1520 mm gauge between countries.

At the same time, the parties agreed on the development of alternative transport corridors between the ports of the Baltic Sea and Ukraine, bypassing Russia and Belarus.

UZ also signed a memorandum with the Polish company Laude Smart Intermodal S.A. According to the agreements, the parties will focus on digitalization of transport processes. In addition, companies will develop logistics between countries.

It will be recalled that at the end of last year, the Polish government considered the possibility of creating a railway that would connect the Ukrainian and Lithuanian railway networks, as well as connect the ports of Gdansk and Klaipeda to them.
