Fuel importers are increasing transportation through Ukrzaliznytsia

Fuel importers are increasing their transportation with Ukrzaliznytsia due to queues at border crossings, this is reported by the railway transport news portal Railway Supply.

Significant queues have been observed at Ukrainian border checkpoints in October.

As a result, fuel import companies have ramped up their railway transportation.

Some companies placed additional railway transportation orders early in the month.

Consequently, from October 1 to October 25, the volumes of customs clearance for diesel wagons increased by 33% to 125,000 tons, while imports in tank wagons decreased by 12% to 144,000 tons.

According to comments from foreign traders, even more fuel is expected to be transported by rail to Ukraine in November.

However, the dynamics of deliveries will largely depend on the capabilities of Polish carriers and Ukrzaliznytsia.

The acquired railway batches are expected to arrive in Ukraine in November, potentially leading to market oversaturation.

Furthermore, according to market participants, navigation through the Danube canals remains complicated due to low water levels.

Another supplier mentioned that vessels are loaded at no more than 70% capacity due to low water levels.
