This was reported by the press service of the state-owned company, citing the Acting Chairman of the Board of Ukrzaliznytsia, Yevhen Kravtsov.
«Among the advantages of transporting containers by container train is a reduction of time of cargo deliverance as well as the costs of transportation. The duration of cargo delivery is less than a day, and the cost of transporting is less by 15%,» – Mr Kravtsov told.
