RZD predicts huge railroads capacity deficit in 2020
The deficit of traffic capacity of Russian railroads will reach in 2020 at least 150 million tons of undelivered cargoes, an RZD official said.
Yuri Fedorov, Deputy General Director of the Institute of Transport Development of RZD told the conference "Outlook of seamless logistics of Russian coal exports ", hosted by PortNews, that in 2015 the volume of undelivered cargo may total 100 million tons. He pointed out that the reason is the lack of funds that should be invested in the development of railway infrastructure and that some projects costs were not recovered, in particular, the Mezhdurechensk-Taishet project.
