According to the Ukrainian rake we decided to run the Polish partners' independence ". The Poles had the idea of rail freight route to China and back through the Ukrainian territory "around Russia". So, Polish company PKP LHS decided to send a test compound with a container (a!) the same route, in which its membership was sending in his time, Ukraine. The route follows: first line to the port of Odessa, then reloading the ferry to Georgia, then the unloading and transfer to Azerbaijan, then again loaded onto the ferry - and across the Caspian Sea in Kazakhstan, out again on the railroad - to the Chinese border. Thus the Poles gathered to tie the cargo "Euroterminal" in Slawkow with the Chinese railway network.
The head of the Polish company PKP LHS Zbigniew Trachihleb literally word for word repeats the communiqués, which at one time excelled his Ukrainian counterpart:
We run route, which is shorter than the sea route and much cheaper, than air transport. It corresponds to the needs of forwarders and operators, who want to avoid the long sea transport, bypass the queues for loading in Asian ports.
Recall, that the Ukrainian part was walking around in China 17 More than a day, then stuck on the Kazakh-Chinese border in connection with the, that China could not decide, whether to send back any cargo that convoluted route or not.
What draws attention in the Polish version of the railway route to China? It `s that, that the Polish PKP LHS, Report "detour Russia", has signed an agreement with the Austrian daughter Russian company "RZD Logistics». And the details of the agreement are kept secret, apparently, not to disappoint Ukrainian partners.
For reference: from the Polish Slavkuv to the Ukrainian border passes Broad railway line length of about 400 km.
