Railway transportation
We offer our clients domestic and International road transport. For this form of transport to bring the expected results, it is necessary for there to be an appropriate railroad infrastructure, rolling stock, and qualified specialists. International railroad transport includes many processes, such as delivering the cargo to the railroad terminal, loading it, and transporting it, or unloading it at the terminal.
Railroad transport is recommended for situations in which there a large quantity of cargo or when the distance to the delivery place is long. This applies especially to international transport. The cost of transporting the cargo via rail depends on the route, weight and volume of the transported goods. The wagons used in international railroad transport allow for the transport of various types of goods, solid and liquid. Rail transport is most often used for cargo such as coal, ore, steel, fuel, liquids, grain, or chemicals.
Multimodal rail transport
International multimodal rail transport means that the transport of cargo consists of at least two different modes of transport. It carries out based on a multimodal transport contract, from a site located in one country, where the cargo is taken over by a multimodal transport operator (railroad transport), to an allocated destination located in another country (road transport). Multimodal rail transport is developing dynamically on various routes. Those worth noting include: container rail transport from China. This kind of international road transport ensures a quick delivery, but its cost may be higher than, for example, sea transport. We provide our customers with services relating to the organization and operation of multimodal intercontinental transport.
Rail transport of consolidated cargo
Domestic and International rail transport is successfully used to transport consolidated cargo, i.e. small packages and shipments. Regular rail transit transports cargo from one terminal to another. The advantage of transporting consolidated cargo this way is competitive pricing. Rail transport is much cheaper than, for example, air transport. Transporting consolidated cargo by rail is becoming increasingly popular. New connections are being created with the East, including China, Mongolia, Kazakhstan, Russia and the former CIS countries. Multimodal intercontinental transport is constantly evolving.

Intermodal transport
There is a growing interest in Intermodal transport, which uses more than one mode of transport. The benefits of this type of transport include:
- Lower cost
- More transport options
- Fast and timely delivery
- Decreased risk of the cargo being damaged
- Higher availability of services
The possibilities of intermodal transport allow for the transport of a large batch of cargo at one time. This is why multimodal rail transport is quickly evolving. It is worth remembering that in intermodal transport, despite using more than one mode of transport, the service is carried out under one transport contract. Intermodal transport is used for both domestic and international transport.
