Transportation of ores is a very relevant field. Approximately 33% of total exports from Ukraine are accounted for by metals and ores. For example, in February 2024, ores accounted for the largest share of shipments conducted by the state-owned joint-stock company “Ukrzaliznytsia”, even surpassing the grain cargoes. While monthly figures may vary, this fact indicates that ore transportation is the most sought-after service. The resumption of shipping operations through the ports of Greater Odessa contributed to the increase in the export of ores. Therefore, a combination of railway transport and maritime transport becomes an excellent solution in such cases.

Cargoes that include ores

Transportation of ores is regulated by the statutory regulations applicable to bulk and loose cargo transportation. Ores, along with gravel and coal, do not require the atmospheric-disturbance protection. Thus, both special wagons and open rolling stock can be used for their transportation.
