International rail transport

Do not underestimate the role of rail transport in economic development, international trade and relations. F / A transportation between countries allow for normal interaction of various industrial and trading companies. Rail transport is used primarily for the delivery of raw materials, oversized cargo, heavy equipment and machinery. That rail can quickly deliver the cargo to its destination at any time of the year and at a low cost.
The disadvantage of rail transport is its attachment to a particular route and relatively expensive when transporting light cargo.

Transshipment
      All rail transportation in Ukraine and CIS countries are carried out in the rolling stock of a single sample, which is used for the delivery of goods by rail former SSSR.V Europe different type of rolling stock, which has different requirements for size and width kolei.Pri international transport of post-Soviet countries space in Europe, Afghanistan, Iran or China peregruzhayutsya loads of cars in the CIS eurocars,
due to the fact that the railways of the former USSR have a track width of 1520 mm (broad gauge), while railways Western countries have a track gauge of 1435 mm (narrow gauge), besides wagons with load can be transposed to other wheelsets gauge or perevalivatsya road transport (especially that in Europe more profitable to deliver goods by road) for transshipment terminals.

Features railway transport in some countries
In export-import traffic railway transport, it is necessary to take into account features of senders / transit countries / countries recipients. For example, in Tajikistan and Turkmenistan. Payment of domestic and export-import traffic is carried out only by the consignor or consignee, and are paid only transit through freight forwarders. In other CIS countries import, transit, export and domestic transportation can be paid in these countries accredited forwarders. In some countries, such as Armenia, transportation now made ​​only by ferry across Georgia, because of the impossibility of sending land. Many goods coming from Ukraine to Georgia, on-time delivery and distance, it is most advantageous to transport by ferry, but you should know that this cost of transportation will not be particularly different from the cost of land delivery. For transportation in the Central Asian countries are often even more steam than by land.
     Special role in international rail transport play a convention, it is a special order of the railways of which is moved into them. These conventions may be banned from sending certain goods from a particular station or from all stations within this road. Loading or ban certain kinds of rolling stock belonging to one country or another. They introduce tend to maintain national rolling stock for a particular economic advantage or to improve the technical efficiency of a particular road, and more recently also for preserving the physical rolling. For example, because of military operations in the South – East, there are risks losing not only cargo but also rolling in the investigation of the shelling, since this guidance Ukrzaliznytsi it was decided to ban the one to be sent to the region total fleet of cars, the owners do not care.

In Crimea, a different situation of hostilities there, but the cars because of the uncertainty of the legal status of the peninsula as it can “expropriate” use their needs, and in the case of both cars and UTLTS own rolling carrier will quite naturally raise the penalties for misuse of cars that will be borne by the forwarder / shipper. By the way, as in the case with only a handful of railway vehicles Carriers go to the Crimea, and those who drive, do it 2 times more expensive, so they use their monopoly.
   
    Since all of this information when planning international railway transportation, it is necessary to carefully consider the route of sending cars and assess the economic feasibility of the consignment, as well as possible risks to fulfill their commitments to the customer and to deliver the goods on time.
