Oiltanking and Operail - A New Partnership on Finnish Railroads
Kotka, February 17, 2021 - Oiltanking announced today the signing of a new partnership concerning the transport of chemicals on the Vainikkala-Kotka route.
The partners agreed that Operail Finland Oy will be responsible for the safe, reliable and efficient rail transport of chemicals to Oiltanking's terminal facilities in Kotka and other logistical services at the terminal. The annual freight volume of the new cooperation is estimated to exceed 1 million tons. Due to their proximity to the border Oiltanking Finland's terminal in Kotka and the facilities in Hamina are considered a gateway to and from Russia. They mainly serve as an important hub for Russian chemical flows; various products enter via rail, are stored in heatable and insulated tanks and forwarded via truck or vessels.
