A Czech company, Interport, wants to develop a container terminal on the second stretch of Soviet gauge track that stretches from Ukraine into Slovakia, reports Poland’s InterModal News. Measuring 100 km, this electrified track carries iron ore from Uzhgorod to Haniska, home to US Steel Košice. The Interport terminal is served by Soviet and EU gauge tracks and can handle 275 containers a day — the equivalent of six freight trains from China. Chinese container traffic through the Belarus-Poland gauge break has doubled this year, prompting Ukraine and Slovakia to try to win some of the traffic.
