What Has Changed in Ukrzaliznytsia’s Tariffs?
Since the beginning of the year, Ukrzaliznytsia has revised tariffs for:
- Domestic freight transportation (increased by 18–25%)
- International freight transportation (indexed to European tariff levels)
- Additional services such as storage, shunting, and wagon delivery/collection — increased by 12–20%
These changes are driven by rising transportation costs, inflationary pressure, and the renewal of rolling stock.
How Do the New Tariffs Affect Logistics?
The tariff increase leads to:
- Higher overall delivery costs
- Scheduling delays due to increased load on the railway
- A shift in demand toward alternative modes of transport, especially road freight
- A reorientation of some cargo to sea and multimodal routes
For businesses in the agricultural, industrial, or energy sectors, this means unpredictable expenses and risks of supply chain disruption.
