The Lithuanian national rail freight operator LTG Cargo has been certified for rail freight operations in Germany through its subsidiary LTG Cargo Polska. It can now independently operate services without intermediaries.<\/strong>
\n<\/span>LTG Cargo Polska CEO Laimonas Nekro\u0161ius says that the certification will translate into more efficient and effective transport services for his company. \u201cLTG Cargo Polska’s advantage as a carrier is the efficient transport of cargo between Poland, Ukraine, and the Baltic States, and now we have a strong impetus to expand our operations to Germany \u2013 we feel these destinations are relevant to our customers\u201d, he commented.<\/p>\n

A reduction in the number of intermediary partners will also enable shorter lead times and more flexibility to adapt to market changes, LTG Cargo Polska explains.<\/p>\n

Earlier expansions<\/h2>\n

The rail freight operator purchased new pocket wagons for intermodal operations between Kaunas (Lithuania) and Duisburg (Germany) in 2025. In 2024, it secured licenses to operate in Latvia and Estonia, thereby expanding its scope of operations to the entire Baltic region.<\/p>\n

International expansion has been a key strategic objective not only for LTG Cargo, but also for their Latvian counterparts at LDz Cargo. The loss of freight from Russia following the introduction of sanctions has forced the companies to look elsewhere for business.<\/p>\n

Currently, LTG Cargo\u2019s Polish subsidiary employs 130 people. It has a fleet of over 350 standard-gauge wagons and 20 locomotives.<\/p>\n
