The Chairman of the Board of JSC “Ukrzaliznytsia,” Yevhen Liashchenko, noted that obtaining this license is a significant achievement towards creating an international operator that can offer customers a unified cross-border transportation service.

Yevhen Liashchenko emphasized that the company is working on developing and coordinating new international routes, which will improve logistics and speed up transportation processes.

In its initial phase as a carrier, UZ Cargo Poland plans to focus on increasing the volume of transport through the Ukrainian-Polish border crossings.

This innovation promises significant advantages for Polish and Ukrainian shippers, who will be able to use a “door-to-door” service from a single operator, avoiding the need to enter into multiple contracts with different companies.

The company also plans to operate rolling stock for both 1435 mm and 1520 mm gauge tracks in the future, enabling efficient operation at all border crossings with Poland.

This innovation will be a significant improvement, as the difference in track gauges often poses an obstacle to seamless international transportation.

It is planned that Ukrainian Railways Cargo Poland will begin providing full comprehensive transportation services next year.

During this time, the company is actively expanding its list of offered services to meet customer needs and adapt to new market conditions.
