A portion of the cargo traveling along the Trans-Caspian International Transport Route, which links China and Europe, is expected to be routed through Ukraine, Tymofiy Murakhovsky, commercial and logistics director at state-owned Ukrainian Railways (Ukrzaliznytsia), stated on Wednesday.
For this purpose, Ukrzaliznytsia plans to establish a subsidiary in Kazakhstan, the UZ Cargo East, which would work along the so-called Middle Corridor from China to Europe via Ukraine, according to Murakhovsky.
Rohlig SUUS Logistics, one of the largest logistics service providers in Poland, said it has opened a subsidiary in Ukraine, headquartered in Kyiv, as it looks to strengthen its position in Central and Eastern Europe.
The Swiss subsidiary of the world's second-largest container shipping company, MSC, Medlog, has bought stakes in Ukrainian logistics assets, according to reports from Forbes Ukraine. The transaction marks the first deal of its kind with a global logistics company since the full-scale Russian invasion.
