Ukrzaliznytsia sent the first piggyback train to Poland with trucks, which were forced to wait at the border due to the blockade of Polish carriers. The company’s press service reported this on December 7.
The first train included 23 platforms, on which 13 tractors with semi-trailers were loaded.
The train runs on the route Sknilov (Ukraine) – Slawkow (Poland). Customs and border clearance of cargo takes place at the Izov-Grubeshev railway border crossing.
Similar flights will be arranged back-to-back. From the station Slawkow The trucks are heading to their destination along the road. Truck drivers travel to train platforms by bus.
The company worked on the project for two weeks. It remains to resolve the formal issues of fast crossing the Polish border – Ukrzaliznytsia working to speed up the process.
To order transportation of a truck by piggyback train from Ukraine, you need to contact a branch of the Transport Service Center Liski JSC Ukrzaliznytsiain the other direction – to UZ Cargo Poland.
We remind you that since November 6, on the Ukrainian-Polish border, due to a strike, the movement of trucks at three checkpoints has been blocked: Krakovets – Korczowa, Rava Russkaya – Khrebnoye and Yagodin – Dorogusk. There are thousands of trucks in the queue. On November 23, strikers blocked a fourth checkpoint, Shegini, for trucks.
Among the main demands is the return of operating permits for Ukrainian carriers, which were removed by the agreement with the EU until June 30, 2024. The protesters want to tear up the agreement and continue the border crossing permit regime in January 1.
Polish Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki said his country would ask for the return of EU permits for Ukraine.
