The Polish state freight and logistics operator, PKP Cargo, announced that it will seek to expand its business with Chinese partners, as well as with existing western European partners, in 2017, and will expand its investment to modernize and improve domestic infrastructure.
Other improvements to the company’s infrastructure the CEO announced for 2017 included modernizing much of the rolling stock and streamlining Polish ports so that they can handle more containers and increase freight volumes.
“This year, we expect, among other things, to strengthen cooperation with Chinese partners in the framework of the idea of the New Silk Road. Not so long ago [it] was widely recognized that another Chinese train travels between China and London. All Chinese trains pass, of course, through Poland. [With respect to western Europe], the establishment of the shipping company in Germany [allows us] to develop our business in the EU market, aiming to attract new customers and cargo,” PKP Cargo CEO Maciej Libiszewski said.
