On the way to the destination automatic gas detectors warn of any leaks. Hot box detectors add to the safety of the transports. The detectors have been installed on all main lines.

Domestic transports of the chemical industry are based on a transport system developed in cooperation with customers which optimizes the whole transport chain from loading to unloading.

Regular block train services are being developed for transport of raw materials from Russia to ensure timeliness and efficiency of wagon turnaround. In addition to transport services, VR Transpoint offers export related forwarding services, ICT services ensuring up-to-date information and additional services concerning the return of wagons.

Our fleet of wagons is developed on the basis of customer needs. In international transportation we can find a solution to transport even the most demanding substances through our partner network.
