"Ukrzaliznytsia" recorded a decline in export ore shipments of 30–40%, but this is only the beginning
UZ says volumes are shrinking due to blocked ports and shutdowns of large industrial enterprises. However, amid the suspension of Ferrexpo and Southern GOK, and problems at ArcelorMittal, "Ukrzaliznytsia" still raised freight tariffs.
Business warned: the increase will not raise the railway’s revenues. On the contrary, it will shrink its freight base, since companies will cut production and shipments. But no one listened. Now "Ukrzaliznytsia" is getting exactly the result it was warned about: higher tariffs — fewer cargos — an even worse financial situation.
