Latvian rail freight operator LDZ Cargo is making strategic moves to extend its business influence in the Baltic region. Recent successes include winning public tenders in Estonia, where the company secured contracts with the state-owned Estonian energy firm Enefit for the transportation of 100,000 tonnes of woodchips and 60,000 tonnes of petroleum. LDZ Cargo envisions this expansion as a crucial step towards consolidating the Latvian and Estonian rail transport markets, ultimately positioning itself as a carrier of regional significance.
In addition to its triumphs in Estonia, LDZ Cargo has obtained access to Lithuania’s public railway infrastructure, enabling the transportation of freight across all three Baltic countries. The company has capitalized on this achievement by offering ‘pan-Baltic services’ to Polish oil refinery ORLEN, covering the entire railway infrastructure of the Baltic countries. LDZ Cargo sees this as a historic milestone, marking the first instance of freight transport by a single company along the comprehensive railway networks of the Baltic region.
