CTL Logistics is consistently strengthening its strong position in the rail freight market by focusing on integrated logistics services. In the second quarter of this year, the company systematically increased its transport volumes.
Since May of this year, both transport performance and the volume of goods transported have been growing steadily. In May, the CTL Group’s transport performance amounted to 261 million tonne-kilometres, and in June it was already one million tonne-kilometres higher – 262 million tonne-kilometres. The carrier recorded similar increases in the volume of goods transported – in May, the result was 974 thousand tonnes (an 8% increase compared to April of this year), while in June of this year there was a further 13% increase (compared to May of this year), and the CTL Group transported a total of 1,107 thousand tonnes in Poland.
– The improving transport results of the CTL Group in consecutive months testify to our established market position, which we are consistently building through the comprehensiveness of our services and the high quality of contract execution – says Jarek Król, CEO of CTL Logistics. – Data from the Office of Rail Transport shows that the entire rail industry has recorded declines, caused, among other things, by a slowdown in investment processes due to the end of the 2007-2013 EU perspective and the lack of new tenders under the current financial perspective. This results in stagnation in the aggregate and construction transport segment, which affects the entire Polish infrastructure market. No less significant for the market situation are the problems of the energy sector, which is why it is gratifying that, despite these trends, the transport results of the CTL Logistics Group have been systematically growing since May – adds CEO Jarek Król.
