Important Facts About Rail transportation

01-11-2025

- Rail is usually slower than land or air transportation, but predictable, as trains operate on a fixed schedule.

- The safety rating is very high, and the possibility of theft and damage to cargo is lower, compared to land and sea transportation.

- A train emits much less CO₂ (carbon dioxide) than a truck, which is beneficial for companies that qualify for the "ESG" indicator.

- Rail transportation is especially advantageous for owners of high-value cargo, since the price of transportation does not affect the cost of production as much as in the case of sea.

- Containers are always available.
