With Chinese shipping demand strong for the weekly China-Kyiv freight train, Ukrzaliznytsia predicts the train will soon increase by 50%, to 64 containers. “We are planning to establish a return flow of goods to China,” Alexander Polishchuk, UZ executive, tells the Center for Transportation Strategies. “Customers in Ukraine still do not know about this service.” It costs about $3,000 to ship a 40-foot container from Ukraine to China, generally an 18-day trip.
