Rail transport: features of the service
Rail transport is more likely to deliver goods in large quantities as it has a high load capacity. In this way, they transport building materials, wood, metal, cement, equipment, oil products, cars, grain, etc. Small loads are also suitable for this purpose. Some of them only use this mode of transport.
But international rail transport is a complex logistics process. Reserving space for cargo, storing freight trains, reorganizing transport at transit stations, resolving customs matters – this is not a complete list of procedures that need to be dealt with. They require special knowledge in the field of logistics, accumulated experience, well-coordinated teamwork. Our experts are highly professional in the field of logistics services and are always ready to help.
The cost of the service is determined by various factors – these are the dimensions of the load itself, the need to secure it during reloading, loading / unloading, etc.
