WR Logistics is managing the rail transport of 2,000 tonnes of high-grade steel from Tangshan, China to Atyrau, Kazakhstan. The shipment supports the Silleno Project and moves entirely by rail across international borders.
Volume and handling
The shipment totals 2,000 tonnes and requires coordinated wagon allocation and load planning to meet rail operator constraints. Each wagon is specified for payload and securing arrangements to prevent movement during transit.
Cross-border rail procedures
Rail transit across borders requires synchronised Customs documentation, wagon acceptance protocols and pre-cleared terminal slots. WR Logistics arranges the necessary transit permits and coordinates with rail operators to manage handover at border control points.
Wagon and schedule coordination
Allocating sufficient wagons and confirming schedule windows is central to keeping transit time predictable. WR Logistics sequences the loading plan to match available wagons and assures that terminal handling and line clearances are in place.
Delivery and site readiness
Arrangements for on-carriage by road or terminal discharge are agreed in advance so the steel can move quickly to site once the rail consignment arrives. WR Logistics continues to coordinate with local teams to ensure the steel reaches the project site by the planned programme.
