The total scope of the railway carriage by Lemtrans based on the operational results in 2022 made 18.8 million tonnes of freight of various types, and the main share of the freight carried was coal and construction materials. In particular, the volume of coal carriage reached 13.9 million tonnes, and the volume of the construction materials was 2.02 million tonnes. Moreover, the loading volume of ore made 1.64 million tonnes, of black metal — 0.48 million tonnes, and of flux — 0.3 million tonnes.
Due to the redirection of the transport flows, the most topical issue is to increase the carrying capacity of the export and import carriage with the European countries.
