Ore, steel, coal

In quantity terms, this is the most significant share of the total transported cargo. The transport of ore, coal, steel and iron involves large-scale transport, whereby transport schedules are made in line with customers’ requirements and where the optimum individual logistic solutions are devised with regard to each individual customer.

In the field of OSC , the following services are provided:

• "Just in time" delivery of ore and coal in complete trains and in individual wagons
• transport of various products made of iron or steel and of non-ferrous metals
• transport of waste iron from collection points to processors

We strive to meet our customers’ requirements, that is why new logistic solutions are constantly being developed.

Coal and ore
As the iron industry and coal-fired power stations require considerable quantities of these raw materials at precisely scheduled times, time-adjusted transport is crucial for their uninterrupted production. Most coal and ore is transported in complete trains. Cargoes of great quantities require accurate planning in raw materials delivery and cooperation with customers. The timely and reliable supply of raw materials is a key factor in reducing the necessary inventories and, consequently, cutting production costs. Along with the accuracy of transport, what matters most is flexibility and the ability to react to changes in the market.

Iron and steel
Scrap iron is a waste raw material in strong demand; it can be supplied to a processor’s industrial track directly from waste disposal sites where it is being collected. Many accessories and special equipment are required for carrying iron and steel products due to the variety and demanding nature of transport. Products can be very heavy (coils), long (pipes, sticks), voluminous (cisterns etc.). That is why such goods are transported in specifically designed wagons and by applying tailor-made logistic solutions. Although small in size, the non-ferrous metal market is a very demanding and rapidly developing one; we therefore treat it with extreme care and attention.

Available wagons
For transporting these types of goods, the most appropriate wagon types are the following:

F, T, E, K, R, U
