Taking trucks off highways, Ukrzaliznytsya in January-July 2018 increased by 41% yoy the number of containers moved by train. Of the 57,688 containers moved, almost 10% traveled the Kyiv-Chornomorsk route. The second most popular route was Odesa-Rozhnyatov, Ivano Frankivsk. “Container transportation is the most intensively growing type of transportation, which allows ensuring speed, reliability of cargo delivery and regularity of trains,” Evgeny Kravtsov, chairman of the state railroad, said. “And there is a demand for these carriages. That’s why this year five new container routes were launched.”
