CEO of Estonian Railways (Eesti Raudtee) Kaido Simmermann stated that the contract concluded for three traffic periods will guarantee the carrier long-term stable prices.
He noted that with the annual volume of 5-8 million tonnes, the operator with a long-term contract can count on using the infrastructure at several dozen per cent more favourable prices than the base tariff.
Hence, operators can offer their customers long-term fixed prices and get significant discounts at large guarantees freight volumes, thus increasing their competitiveness even further in the local region.
In near future, Estonian Railways’ freight transport subsidiary EVR Cargo AS will also conclude a contract for the use of infrastructure at similar terms.
