As clarified by Valeriy Tkachev, Deputy Director of the Commercial Department at Ukrzaliznytsia, the trains departed from the stations Odessa-Leski, Dnipro-Leski, and Vinnytsia to the Polish ports of Gdansk and Gdynia.

The transportation within Ukraine was handled by the branch ‘Liski’ of Ukrzaliznytsia, while in Poland, it was managed by UZ Cargo Poland.

The containers primarily carried grain cargoes and milled products.

These trains follow a strict schedule and provide convenient connectivity at the Ukrainian-Polish border.

Valeriy Tkachev encouraged businesses to make use of this service and mentioned that the possibility of launching a train from Kyiv is under consideration.

Furthermore, it is feasible to dispatch trains from other stations with a substantial cargo base if the shipper is willing to regularly request such a service.

As previously reported, Ukrzaliznytsia offers container transportation via intermodal trains to Gdansk.
