In the upcoming month, there is a possibility of increasing the rental rate for grain carriers provided by the branch "Center for Transport Logistics" of JSC "Ukrzaliznytsia".

"Today we notice a significant increase in demand for our wagons. We are currently loading around 250 wagons per day on average. Yesterday, for example, we loaded over 400 CTL wagons. This is a record for the last two months. I believe we are observing high demand for our CTL wagons," V. Tkachev emphasized.

In this regard, he noted that next month the rental rate for using CTL grain carriers may increase considering this trend.
