Germany’s railway operator plans Ukraine ‘grain bridge’

Date:

BERLIN Jul 21: Germany’s State-owned rail company Deutsche Bahn said it was planning to transport grain by freight train from Ukraine to Germany’s ports. Russia’s invasion of Ukraine — two major global wheat suppliers have sent prices for grains and other food products soaring. It has stalled Kyiv’s exports, leaving dozens of ships stranded and some 20 million tons of grain stuck in silos at Odesa. Deutsche Bahn said it will transform its network that was set up to transport humanitarian aid to bring grain from Ukraine to the German ports of Rostock, Hamburg, and Brake near Bremerhaven. The railway operator plans to run several trains per week and a large part of the grain would be transported via Romania and Poland, the company said, adding that the company couldn’t yet quantify how much grain it could transport.

“We will move as much grain as possible,” a spokesperson for the company was quoted as saying by the DPA news agency which reported the news first.
