According to Valeriy Tkachev, Deputy Director of the Commercial Department at Ukrzaliznytsia, the company will auction six route assignments for 50 mineral carriers each for grain transportation on Monday, November 6.

Operail reduces cargo transportation by 68% in nine months

Loading will be possible in the second half of November.

This decision is primarily driven by the increasing demand from agrarians for rolling stock to transport grain.

As a result, Ukrzaliznytsia has decided to provide mineral carriers for the transportation of agricultural products.

Currently, Ukrzaliznytsia has approximately 380 wagons of this type, which will be offered at auctions.

Furthermore, the carrier has decided to change the schedule for grain carrier auctions.

On Monday and Wednesday (November 6 and 8, respectively), 10 lots of 50 route assignments each will be presented. Additional auctions on Friday are also possible.

As previously reported, the cost of route assignments for grain carriers at auctions exceeded 4,000 UAH.
