In November railway transportation set a new record

During November 2023, 14 million tons of cargo were transported by railway.

This is 33.8% more than the same period in 2022 and 4% more than October 2023, Ukrzaliznytsia reported.

It is noted that November recorded a record number since the beginning of the large-scale invasion. The increase in indicators is observed for all types of connections.

“Next month we have positive dynamics and as a result – a record number of transported goods since the beginning of a large-scale war. It is important that, in addition to domestic transportation, exports, which are critically necessary for our country, also began to grow. Thanks to the work of the Ukrainian maritime corridor, the export of grain has also increased,” said the chairman of the board of JSC “Ukrzaliznytsia” Yevhen Lyashchenko.

Thus, in domestic traffic, Ukrzaliznytsia transported 7.3 million tons in November 2023, which is 19% more than in November last year, export transportation increased by 56.2% to 6 million tons, import transportation by 35.4% to 679 thousand tons, transit – by 2.2 times – up to 65.5 thousand tons.

Transportation of strategically important cargo – grain – became the leader in export traffic. In November, 2.4 million tons of grain were transported for export, which is 13% more than in November 2022 and 40.4% more than in October 2023.

Transportation of grain to sea ports in November amounted to 1.7 million tons, which is 1.7 times more than in October of the current year. At the same time, transportation through land border crossings decreased by 4.2% to 0.72 million tons.
