UZ agrees on cooperation with "Lithuanian Railways"
JSC "Ukrzaliznytsia" and the group of companies "Lithuanian Railways" LTG, LTG Cargo signed memorandums of understanding and cooperation.
As TTS writes, this took place within the framework of the Transport logistic 2023 exhibition held in Munich.
Thus, Ukrainian and Lithuanian railway workers agreed on the implementation of the joint project "Operational model of FREE Rail".
"Its purpose is to strengthen relations in the field of railway transport, to increase the carrying capacity and interoperability of the transport infrastructure in accordance with the constantly growing flows of freight and passenger transport passing through Lithuania and Ukraine," the message says.
It is about the creation of a compatible, stable and independent railway system from the aggressor countries and the development of freight and passenger transportation on the 1520 mm track between the countries.
In particular, thanks to the implementation of the project, the parties plan to form a single, fully independent system of railway operation on the 1520 mm network in terms of technical standards, IT systems, regulations or any type of certification of the Railway Transport Council.
It is also envisaged to develop alternative transport corridors between the ports of the Baltic Sea and Ukraine, bypassing Russia and Belarus, and further reducing dependence on Russian and Belarusian transit cargo flows.
