These perspectives were discussed during the meeting between company Lithuanian Railways and Turkish freight forwarding company BALO. At the meeting, a bilateral freight forwarding agreement was signed.
It is believed that company BALO will become the main operator of intermodal container train Viking in Turkey.
Container train Viking is a joint project of Lithuanian, Belarusian and Ukrainian railways, seaport cargo companies, and Klaipeda, Ilyitchovsk and Odessa seaports. The train carries 20 and 40-foot containers as well as semitrailers and trailer-trains.
