Nurminen Logistics Group started a strategic collaboration with the Russian group Rustranscom. This will see the creation of a jointly owned company, NR Rail, a subsidiary of the Nurminen Logistics Group, that will offer new alternatives for import and export traffic between Finland and Russia.
NR Rail is due to invest in modern locomotives and enhanced cost-effectiveness. The amount and the schedule of investment in locomotives will depend on the development of customer volumes. In future, Nurminen Logistics will be able to offer its own locomotives as part of a comprehensive service offering comprising wagons, terminals, railway yards and forwarding services at border crossings in Imatra, Niirala and Vainikkala.
“The aim is to start the locomotive business in the second half of 2017. What we are setting out to do is to maintain our commitment to developing cost-effective and transparent logistics services to benefit Finnish import and export industries,” Marko Tuunainen, President and CEO at Nurminen Logistics, said.
