China’s hunger for Ukrainian iron helped Lemtrans boost cargo carried in the first half of this year by 26% yoy, to 25 million tons. Lemtrans, Ukraine’s largest private operator of rail wagons, enjoyed a 54% jump in iron ore cargo, to 12.6 million tons, or half of overall cargo. Lemtrans and other owners of rail wagon fleets hope the Zelenskiy government will fulfil its promise to allow private freight trains on Ukrzaliznytsia tracks this year.
