            Similar to last month, rental rates for gondola cars are significantly affected by sever hostilities in the territory of Pokrov, which forces fleet owners and operators to withdraw empty wagons from this region. In addition, ArcelorMittal Kryvyi Rih is planning to shut down one of its furnaces in Q4.

            In September, some operators raised the rental rates of flat cars meant for timber transportation. Rental rate of both box cars with a body capacity of 161-175 cu m and fitting platforms changed due to currency fluctuations.

            Rental rates for gondola cars dropped sharply in September 2024. According to market participants, one of the main reasons for a decrease is Russian troops attacking Pokrovsk – owners and operators of rolling stock are removing the empty wagons which were previously carrying clay from the local stations of Merzalove and Druzhkivka
