The actions of the railroad monopoly, according to MINERFIN, as, from June 1, can complicate the transit of Ukrainian goods through the territory of Slovakia, up to its complete cessation.
In its letter, the Slovak company indicated that it owns the Zaporozhye iron ore plant in Dneprorudny in Ukraine, as well as a transport company with its own fleet of 1041 rail cars. Its assets also include the Třinecké Železárne steel plant, the largest in the Czech Republic.
According to MINERFIN, as, the Czech metallurgical company is a buyer of iron ore produced by JSC Krivoy Rog iron ore plant. Until recently, its delivery was carried out under the terms of DAP Chop, and already on the territory of Europe, especially the Slovak Republic, the company Budamar logistics, as
Having its own fleet of wagons, MINERFIN, as of April this year, decided to transport iron ore to Ukraine using its logistics company Minerfin-Trans LLC, replacing the main ore carrier in Ukraine at that time, Transport Company Cargotranslogistic LLC. According to MINERFIN, as, JSC Ukrzaliznytsia leased its own wagons to the latter’s partners at a non-market price of UAH 450 per wagon per day.
“For this purpose, in April 2023, Minerfin-Trans LLC submitted applications to JSC Ukrzaliznytsia for the transportation of iron ore in the amount of 70.4 thousand tons. However, the submitted requests for transportation remain unapproved by the JSC Ukrzaliznytsia to date, “the letter. said.
According to MINERFIN, as, now there is a situation where the shipper and the consignee have agreed on the transportation of goods, the Slovak carrier CARGO (Budamar logistics, as) has agreed on transit transportation on the territory of Slovakia, and Ukrzaliznytsia, without any reason, does not agree with the plans for the transportation of iron ore supplied from a Ukrainian enterprise to a metallurgical plant in the Czech Republic.
“Thus, due to the collusion of JSC UKRZhD officials and private carriers trying to monopolize the cargo transportation market, 15% of the monthly volume of iron ore transportation by rail in Ukraine was blocked. Due to corrupt above actions, the state JSC Ukrzaliznytsia and the exporter of metallurgical products JSC Kryvyi Rih Iron Ore Plant (one of the main taxpayers and foreign exchange earnings in Ukraine) will lose more than $7 million in monthly income,” MINERFIN , as stated in its letter.
In addition, they told the company, starting June 1, 2023, Budamar Corporation, as the owner of the railway transport operator in the Slovak Republic, will take measures to limit the coordination of the transport of goods coming from Ukraine by territory. of the Slovak Republic to Europe.
“This, in turn, may lead to a significant decrease in exports from Ukraine, which will aggravate the economic crisis in the country in the difficult period of the war,” MINERFIN, as summed up in its letter and requested to Ukrainian authorities to intervene to quickly solve the problem of Ukrzaliznytsya blocking applications for the transport of iron ores.
The letter was sent to the Head of the Office of the President Andriy Yermak, Secretary of the National Security and Defense Council Oleksiy Danilov, Deputy Prime Minister Oleksandr Kubrakov and Head of the State Regulatory Service Oleksiy Kucher.
Recall that in April Ukraine stopped exporting electricity to Slovakia. This happened due to inconsistency in conducting auctions for distribution of inter-state communications bandwidth.
After that, it became known that the state regulator was not scheduled to inspect Ukrenergo due to the suspension of exports to Slovakia.
