The facility is already ready to receive cargo, equipped with modern railway tracks, a container yard with a capacity of up to 2,000 TEU, and a covered warehouse of 3.5 thousand square meters.

The terminal’s throughput capacity is 30,000 TEU per year, providing a substantial acceleration in cargo handling.

The terminal offers new prospects for exporters and importers, freeing them from reliance on global traders and large batches of goods.

Container transportation organized through VCT will help strengthen Vinnytsia region’s ties with other regions of Ukraine as well as European countries.

Regular freight routes are already established, with the first train arriving through a partnership with UZ CARGO POLAND and Ukrzaliznytsia. The first shipment exceeded 60 TEU, connecting the Polish port of Gdansk with Vinnytsia.

Future development plans for the terminal include expanding transport routes to Odessa and other Black Sea ports, and in the long term, creating rail connections to European countries, including Germany, France, Italy, Belgium, and the Netherlands.

This is an important step in Lemtrans’ strategy to create a network of container terminals across Ukraine, supporting the growth of international trade and the development of the country’s transport infrastructure, despite the current challenging conditions.
