wagons

The Ministry of Infrastructure plans to soften the requirements of its pre-war Order (No. 647 dated November 30, 2021) regarding the terms of operation of freight cars. In particular, for the period of martial law, it is proposed to “amnesty” from scrapping those wagons whose final term of use expires in 2022-2024. The Ministry of Infrastructure’s easing of norms is justified by the risk of a shortage of wagons and an increase in the price of rail freight transportation.

JSC “Ukrzaliznytsia” built a record 528 freight cars at its own facilities.

The accumulation of wagons with grain in the direction of the port of Izmail increased by almost 60%.

“Ukrzaliznytsia” is asked to approve a transparent procedure for conducting auctions for the use of wagons and to prevent manipulations with an artificial shortage.

This year, JSC “Ukrzaliznytsia” plans to build 120 grain trucks for standard and Eurotrack.

The average daily rate of unloading wagons in the ports of Great Odesa is currently 1,184 wagons per day.

The minimum rate for sending grain by grain trucks in January is UAH 2,250, which is UAH 1,100 higher than in December.

Thanks to the help of USAID, “Nibulon” purchased 50 modern hopper cars that transport grain from blocked river ports to Danube ports.

The number of shipments of wagons with grain to the ports increased at least 3.2 times.

The number of wagons with grain in the direction of the ports of Odesa, Chornomorsk, and Pivdenne increased to 4,000 units.
