Rail transportation

When supply chains require scale, stability, and predictability

Suitable for regular, containerised, bulk, heavy, oversized, dangerous, and temperature-controlled cargo over long distances.

Rail transportation is efficient for large cargo volumes and stable long-distance supply chains. IFC COLOS arranges shipments across Kazakhstan, the CIS, the Baltic states, China, Europe, and the Middle Corridor, using both owned and third-party rolling stock.

Depending on the cargo, we select open wagons, fitting platforms, covered wagons, tank wagons, hoppers, refrigerated wagons, and other rolling stock. Our team develops and approves loading and securing schemes and coordinates stations, schedules, and cargo handling.

Container and block trains can be formed for regular volumes. This format provides predictable transit times, supply-chain stability, and continuous monitoring of wagons throughout the route.
