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.
