This is how Ukrainian exporters and authorities are trying to solve the problem of crossing the border, which is blocked by Polish carriers. Now the Ukrainian and Polish sides are coordinating some technical issues.
Now we have a loaded train at the crossing with Hrubieszow (checkpoint on the Ukrainian-Polish border “Izov-Hrubieszow”). We already have 23 loaded piggyback cars with trucks,” Tkachev said, Ukrzaliznytsia manager Valery Tkachev told Interfax-Ukraine.
According to him, the Ukrainian and Polish sides are now coordinating technical issues. Polish customs has questions about the dimensions of the cargo, as well as the presence of fuel in the tanks of the trucks.
We will try to resolve these issues in the near future so that they will let him through. As soon as this test train passes and everything goes well, we will launch it en masse,” the Ukrzaliznytsia representative promised.
The operator of such cargo transportation by rail will be the Ukrainian State Transport Service Center “Leski”.
A loaded test train with 23 Ukrainian trucks is still awaiting approval from Polish customs officials.
A video is being published on social networks showing trucks being transported by piggyback trains.
They write that the video was filmed in the Lviv region. Thus, transport blocked in Poland seems to be able to cross the border.
