The tasks, set before our departments, require enormous talent, knowledge, and skills. According to Vitaliy Andreychykov, an engineer of the shipping logistics department, the specialists of the departments must think strategically, have managerial abilities, persistence, purposefulness, stress tolerance, and be creative.

Due to our efficient work to ensure efficient unloading and quick return of empty railcars, the railcars turnover was considerably reduced. Due to our participation, the company was able to reduce the railcars turnover in three times, from 8-10 days (on average within Ukraine) to 3 days! Thanks to the planned work of the departments, despite large volumes of transportation, there was no demurrage, downtime of rail transport and motor transport through cargo absence”, tells Oleksandr Volkov, acting head of the shipping logistics department.
