RAILWAY TRANSPORT

We have wide experience of working with a vast range of export and import cargoes in the ports of Ukraine and provide a whole range of cargo forwarding and transhipment services in a port.

We forward and tranship cargoes in all ports of Odessa.

The following operations are included in the range of works concerning bulk cargoes forwarding:

Rail transport is characterized by a wide variety of rolling stock, which allows transporting cargo of various dimensions to any distance and use any method of loading.

• Unitized cargo with manual or automatic loading is transported in covered wagons or containers
• Overweight and oversized cargo with overhead loading is transported in open wagons or on flat and transporter wagons
• Bulk cargo is transported in open wagons or by using a specialized rolling stock
• For transporting motor vehicles and other specialized cargo we use specialized application-specific wagons.
• Additional cargo handling operations (stowing, separation, lashing, quantity determination, etc.);
• Issuing shipping documents (acceptance certificates, manifests, cargo-plan, bills of lading, etc.);
• Advantages of rail carriage
• High loading capacity of cars allows transportation of more goods in one unit of the rolling stock. One covered wagon has the loading capacity of 3 motor vehicles.
• Ability to transport lightweight and voluminous cargo (over 120 m3) on a wagon train, which is very convenient in case of long hauls
