Ukrzaliznytsia will take the grain in long-term lease for lack of demand from carriers

the Owners of grain cargoes gradually increasing the own Park of wagons-grain carriers continue to abandon the use of the wagons of Ukrainian Railways for their high cost.

According PUTZ UZ in Ukraine as at 12.12.19 was working 27060 grain cars, of which 10,5 thousand units belong to UZ. Within 2 years, the number of grain cars increased by of 62.54% or 10,412 thousand.

The transferred amount is influenced by such indicators as the number and turnover of cars. If wagonlog from the beginning of 2018 has not worsened, then TIES the growth in the number of grain increased the volume of freight of 62.54%. However, this did not happen and, therefore, slows the turnover of cars. In 2018 compared to the 2011 average turnover of the car has deteriorated to 77% from 5.85 to 10.35 days.

within the framework of the deregulation of the wagon component of the railway tariff, the daily cost of renting a car of grain BONDS in two years grew from 356 to 1136 UAH without VAT, which forced private businesses to invest in their own rolling stock.

But in recent time the simplest is almost half of the grain cause the BONDS to lower rate of rent, so she started to sell the lease cars at auctions with the possibility of a rate cut. Through a small number of people willing to take the car rental the company decided to transfer part of the grain in long-term use of large carriers.

IN the us stated that "understanding of the complicated current international situation and its own role in Ukraine's largest freight carrier, so reduce the cost of services. Than for a longer period will the service is ordered, the lower the cost of cars. Pilot projects will be launched in April-may, and within six months promise to establish a systematic work with long-term services.

This will allow submitters time to get ordered the wagons to form the application from for a long period, which will facilitate planning work. In turn, the BONDS to evenly distribute resources to avoid seasonal fluctuations of demand and supply in the transport market.

the Management of UZ believes that such steps would support the domestic industry during the global economic crisis, and will move the company to a world standatd, allowing to optimize costs and to expand the planning horizon.
