20% discount on delivery of goods by railway to Azov ports agreed by Ministry

The Ministry of Infrastructure of Ukraine finally agreed a discount on railway cargo delivery to the ports of Berdyansk and Mariupol. As a reminder, in the middle of March 2019, the Ministry of Infrastructure informed that cargo traffic in the ports of Mariupol and Berdyansk decreased significantly, because of the long-term delays of vessels, fleet deficit and high cost of freight. At that time, an algorithm for granting additional discounts on tariffs for certain types of cargo transportation to those ports was created.
