We offer a full complement of services including:

• payment of all rail tariffs and fees,

• transshipment at the borders,
• loading of any complexity,
• obtaining of approvals for hazardous cargo movements,
• positioning a rolling stock,

Our vast experience helps us to identify and order in advance the rolling stock for any special cargo while the cargo is still in the sea.
