“Viking”. What is it?
It is an express container/contrailer train that runs between Odessa (Ilyichevsk) and Klaipėda, and connects the regions of the Baltic Sea and the Black Sea. The advantages of this train in terms of transportation of foreign trade and transit cargoes are the time (it takes the train 48 hours to cover the distance from Odessa to Klaipėda; short duration of customs procedures) and the price (the freight rates are by one-third or even by half lower than those of road transport). |
