LTG Cargo Ukraine: Transporting oversized wagons in a new way from Lithuania to Ukraine

The freight operator between Lithuania and Ukraine, “LTG Cargo Ukraine,” has introduced a new service for customers transporting oversized wagons from Lithuania to Ukraine by combining road and rail transport. This is discussed in an interview with the Head of “LTG Cargo Ukraine,” Saulius Stasiūnas.

How did the LTG Cargo Ukraine team manage to transport more than 260 various model wagons between Ukraine and Lithuania over the past few years?

Saulius Stasiūnas: Our team is constantly looking for new solutions to meet our custumers’ needs. One such solution was to offer custumers the organization of wagon transportation from Lithuania to Ukraine by combining road and rail transport. We can transport oversized wagons, such as tank wagons, which cannot be transported by rail due to their size restrictions on the Polish railway infrastructure. Transshipment at the Šeštokai station ensures a smooth transition from one mode of transport to another. This way, wagon owners can retrieve wagons that were left in the Baltic states.

How do you assess the LTG Cargo team’s readiness for such tasks?

S.S.: Our team works very efficiently, professionally, and with high quality, constantly seeking innovative solutions. The first transportation is expected to take place in August. All necessary agreements with road and rail carriers have already been signed.

How are market conditions changing, and what solutions do you offer to clients?

S.S.: Recently, due to the changing situation, the volume of containerized cargo transportation from Ukraine to the Baltic states have also changed, so LTG Cargo Ukraine offers other logistical solutions. We organize transportation in open wagons, as well as in Big Bags with transshipment in Šeštokai. We offer this service both from Lithuania and Ukraine, and it has received great interest. Earlier this year, we transported twelve thousand tons of fertilizers from Lithuania to Ukraine in this way.

LTG Cargo Ukraine, a subsidiary of LTG Cargo, plays a crucial role as a comprehensive link between the Baltic countries and Ukraine. It is committed to providing the best possible support for Ukraine and its partners.
