EVR Cargo to rent railcars to Finnish, Lithuanian companies
When it comes
to the open wagons, they will be rented to a Lithuanian company after an
additional technical inspection.
"We have taken delivery of all the 300 platforms
and they are being entered into the register now. After registration we will
deliver them to the lessee to a station on the Polish-Belarus
border," EVR Cargo CEO Raul Toomsalu told BNS on Friday.
"By now we have delivered 264 railcars, by the
end of October we will deliver all the 300 railcars to the Finnish
company," Toomsalu said.
EVR Cargo in June
entered into a 17.8 million euro contract to purchase 300 container platforms
and 200 open wagons.
Toomsalu said that EVR Cargo has not accepted the
open wagons yet as it wants to conduct an additional technical inspection of
the cars.
"The railcars are waiting at the plant and we are
planning to send technical inspectors there next week," he said.
The open wagons will be rented out to a Lithuanian
company under a contract that has already been signed.
