Lietuvos Gelezinkeliai posts EUR 12 mln in profit in 2017
In his words, the good results were driven by an increase in freight and
passenger volumes.
"In the October-November period, the haulage of freight was extremely
successful, we reported an increase by over 20%. We are raising freight volumes
to Klaipeda, transporting more grain, as well as delivering more to the
(Russian) Kaliningrad region," Lietuvos
Gelezinkeliai's CEO told a press conference on Monday.
Over the first 11 months of 2016, the company netted a profit of 3.3
million euros.
Lietuvos Gelezinkeliai's freight traffic grew by 9.4% to 47.7 million tons in January-November
year-on-year, while passenger numbers went up by 0.7% to 3.3 million.
The company has not yet published any financial, loading or passenger
traffic plans for next year.
"I do not want to specify any final plans, we are finalizing the
budget. We have an ambition of raising both passenger and freight traffic. We
expect the next year to be successful and with good results," said
Bartuska.
