Ukrzaliznytsia plans to launch comprehensive transport services in Poland by 2025, now that the relevant licence has been issued for Ukrainian Railways Cargo Poland, an affiliate which Ukraine’s state-owned railway founded in Poland already last year.
In a first step, the cargo division will primarily serve as a Ukrainian-Polish border railfreight operator to avoid having to conclude numerous contracts with different companies. It plans to introduce a direct door-to-door transport service under one management, enabling efficient operations at all border crossings with Poland.
For a smooth cross-border service, the new affiliate aims to operate rolling stock for track widths of both 1,435 mm and 1,520 mm, reported the local media, quoting a Ukrzaliznytsia press release. (ben)
