Dear Clients and Partners,
Joint Stock Company "Astyk Trans" informs you about the cost adjustment for providing wagons from September 15, 2022 in the intra-republican and export messages.
The decision is caused by the increase in the cost of wagon repair services, due to the increase in prices for spare parts, mainly imported from the Russian Federation and the growth of the Russian ruble, which has risen by 45% since December 2021. This factor has a significant impact on the cost of maintenance and repair of wagons.
The next factor is an increase in the turnover period of wagons on the railway (the period of time from the delivery of the car for loading, unloading and before the return of the empty wagon for the next loading), which leads to an additional decrease in profitability, since payment is taken for standard period of wagon turnover, and in fact it is 37% higher.
Also, an important role is played by the general increase in inflation, which leads to an increase in the cost of services in general and affects the purchase of new grain carriers.
Based on the above, in order to ensure the safety and continuity of transportation, as well as the development of the industry, the Company decided to adjust the tariff policy.
Should you have any questions, please contact the managers assigned to you.
