PKP Cargo and PKP LHS intend to strengthen cooperation in areas that benefit both companies, in particular, the common commercial projects in export, import and transit, which will be implemented on the basis of a common international bill of lading, with some lines of standard gauge and partly with the broad gauge line LHS 65.
The joining of PKP LHS to the TMTM Trans-Caspian corridor, which connects China with Europe, gives a chance to increase the container transport using LHS lines and the Euroterminal in Sławków. These containers must be transported further into Western Europe on standard gauge lines.
The wide-gauge railway PKP LHS operates six stations adjoining stations with standard-gauge tracks and a gauge switching point of carriages from the broad track to standard. PKP Cargo and PKP LHS will develop mechanisms to help customers fulfil cargo transport with the use of the potential of the adjoining stations and lines with different track gauges.
Another area in which the companies will work together closely is the Euroterminal in Sławków. Currently, PKP LHS and PKP Cargo are its minority shareholders. This creates a great potential for joint projects and the boards of both companies have agreed to cooperate closely in this regard.
