LTG Cargo: first test run through Latvia to Estonia

This comes after Skinest Baltija failed to deliver spare parts and experienced delays in technical maintenance.

In Kazakhstan, financing for freight rail transport has tripled

Under the 2021 agreement, Skinest Baltija was obligated to supply spare parts for diesel engines and freight locomotive systems.

However, during the contract period, LTG Cargo notified Skinest Baltija of over 100 claims regarding inadequate service delivery.

Skinest Baltija is currently over 100 days late in delivering its goods and has incurred fines exceeding 30,000 euros for payment delays.

As a result, LTG Cargo had to carry out unplanned repairs on over 20 occasions.

This is not the first dispute between Lithuanian and Estonian companies, as in 2017, Lietuvos gelezinkeliai (now LTG, which includes LTG Cargo) and Skinest Baltija reached a settlement after a 5-year dispute over Skinest’s failure to supply Russian-made wagons.
