First grain train from Ukraine arrives in Austria
ÖBB Rail Cargo Group (RCG) has been importing grain from Ukraine for many years. Since the beginning of the war in Ukraine, however, the number of transports has increased - mainly to northern Germany.
From March to April 2022, RCG organised 30 grain trains from Ukraine, which have shipped a total of 60,000 t of grain so far. Since May, the number of transports has been doubled - so that grain trains from Ukraine are currently travelling to the EU every day.
Now the first train loaded with Ukrainian maize for animal feed has arrived in Austria. The company plans to operate at least two grain transports per month from Ukraine to Austria from now on. Each train consists of 25 bulk freight wagons and carries 1,400 t of grain. (ben)
