UZ will create a freight forwarding company in Europe

JSC “Ukrzaliznytsia” may by the end of the year create a freight carrier company that will carry out transportation in Europe.

The need to create your own company for cargo transportation outside of Ukraine is due to the fact that Ukrainian cargo carriers experience difficulties in working with carriers from Europe. Oleksandr Kamyshin, the chairman of the board of the University of Ukraine, told about this in an interview with “Interfax-Ukraine”

“It’s true, we have to develop a European carrier in both passenger and cargo transportation. We have shown that we can be efficient, and those of our citizens who have used the services of European railways have definitely appreciated the difference in schedule, service, and many other things,” Kamyshin added.

According to him, the company can be created by the end of the year: “There is hope, and we are doing everything to make it come true, but the speed of approvals in Europe, unfortunately, we would like it to be faster.”

Kamyshin also noted that in order to create a trucking company, it is necessary not only to purchase rolling stock, but also to obtain a license, carry out registration and recruit employees.
