Ukraine and Germany to develop East-West grain transportation
Ukraine and Germany will jointly develop cargo transportation in the East-West direction, Deputy Director General of Ukrzaliznytsia (Ukrainian Railways) Viktor Chorny and Director of Region East at DB Shenker Hans Georg Werner said.
Proper agreement was reached at a business forum, entitled "Problems and Prospects of Cargo Transportation," in Kyiv. The sides presented their joint opportunities for the organization of cargo transportation and handling on the border, as well as the organization of transportation in European countries.
The Ukrainian Transport and Communications Ministry's press service quoted Chorny as saying that in response to DB Shenker's proposal on cooperation, railroad officers had begun to work out a new approach to the organization of transportation. He said that cargo owners currently expected comprehensive transportation services, including loading, registration, the selection of a transportation route, ensuring the safety and high-quality reloading of goods from one vehicle to another, etc. And, above all, clients are interested in the optimization of expenditures, he added.
