Executives of the Saint Petersburg Branch of Joint Stock Company Freight One (Freight One), headed by Deputy Branch Director for Commerce Vladimir Stafeyev, took part in the Railway Freight Market Optimization and Development session of the VIII Transport and Transit Potential International Forum in St. Petersburg.

Delegates from operator and logistics companies discussed the railway freight market development model till the year 2020, as well as rolling stock operation market trends, and changes to the priorities of cargo owners' transport policy.

"Following the changes in the economy, the transport services market has changed as well. Mechanisms and solutions that used to work fine two years ago, are not efficient anymore, so we are refining on our services and paying progressively more attention to our customers' interests. In the context of the general economic downturn, we offer efficient approaches to cutting transport costs. The industrial logistics service is one of them, for instance. In terms of this service, Freight One undertakes to functionally arrange operation of an enterprise's access tracks, planning and organization of railway transportation. Being a subsidiary of UCL Holding, which includes port, shipping and logistics assets, Freight One is able to offer the market a comprehensive service of goods transshipment and transportation," said Vladimir Stafeyev, delivering his speech.

The event was dedicated to goods transportation issues concerned with all means of transport. Guests featured over 500 executives of federal and regional government bodies, as well as delegates from cargo owner companies from Russia, the CIS, and far-abroad countries, transport and logistics companies, transport engineering enterprises, and the media.
