Due to the blockade of the western border, there is an opportunity to redirect cargoes that were transported to EU countries by trucks to river transport.
UDP has developed three lines for barge caravans.
Ukraine – Galati
The fastest route for transferring cargo across the western border to EU countries. Considering the long distance, the river caravan can make 5-7 trips to Galati per month. Thus, the delivery time for containers is just a few days.
Ukraine – Regensburg
This route allows for the delivery of cargo to Germany, to the nearest point to the main market for Ukrainian exports. Or to any port on the Middle and Upper Danube. However, the duration of the trip is longer than delivery to Galati.
Ukraine – Constanta
Delivery of cargo to one of the largest European sea ports, with the possibility of further export to any point in the world.
The Steamship plans to deploy additional barge caravans on the container lines, which will ensure the delivery of 2.1 thousand TEU to Regensburg (Germany), or 5.9 thousand TEU to Constanta (Romania) monthly.
UDP can work with TEU/FEU containers, as well as reefer containers.
River transportation solely by UDP’s fleet is an alternative to 2-5 thousand trucks.
