Since the beginning of 2021, Belarusian Railway has transported more than 1,000,000 TEU containers in all types of directions. Container transportation reached the seven-digit mark in October, while in 2020 this figure was achieved for 12 months.

The results of the container business unit became possible due to planning and effective interaction of the Belarusian Railway with all business entities to increase the volume of cargo transportation in containers within the republic, as well as the growth of export and transit traffic.

For 9 months of 2021, the volume of transit container transportation increased by 1.4 times compared to the same period in 2020. A significant share of this volume is the result of work of  Belarusian Railway with the railways of Russia and Kazakhstan within the framework of the joint project of JSC UTLC ERA.
