RZhD is about to increase oil transportation charges
The management of RZhD has taken a decision to increase the cost of oil cargo export transportation, except diesel fuel, by 13.4% and the expenses for domestic transportation of diesel fuel by 12.5%. It goes from the materials of the company. The Federal Tariff Service is to announce about the decision of the management of RZhD, after which the tariff will be increased, Vedomosti writes.
The tariffs of RZhD have been frozen since the beginning of the year under the decision of the government. But the railroad monopoly insisted on an increase of tariffs on oil and oil products transportation (both export and domestic) by 6%. But oil companies were against the increase of tariffs.
