Finnish railways to service 20,000 TEU

In 2008 Finnish Railways will service 15-20 thousand TEU of transit containers transported from Transsiberian Railway, Henri Kuitunen, General Director of VR Ltd told to correspondent of IA “RZD-Partner.Ru”.
He added that the forecast will be right “if everything goes according to the plan till the end of the year”.
Henri Kuitunen noted that this figures don’t satisfy Finnish railwaymen: in 2005 volume of cargo flow amounted to about 100 thousand TEU, then it reduced to 10 thousand TEU in 2006 due to increase of tariffs on transit transportation via Transsiberian railway.
