VIKING TRAIN is the most cost-friendly and the fastest rail route from Odessa to Klaipeda!

The common practice was that trains as usually spent a lot of time on cross-border cargo check (and safety of cargo) along Baltic – Black sea route. Ukrainian, Lithuania and Belarus together had a vision of becoming a transportation bridge between East and West Europe. This encouraged for organize the Piggyback VIKING Train. The regular runs were launched on 6 February 2003.

This is a joint project of Lithuanian, Ukrainian and Belarusian Railways, stevedore companies and ports of Klaipeda, Illichivsk and Odessa. The route crosses Ukraine, Belarus and Lithuania and links the network of sea container and container lines of Baltics and the Black seas, Mediterranean and Caspian seas. The solution mainly focuses on shortening the time that trains spend on international borders while cargo checked. The solution also involves instant checking of possible radiation presence on the trains, the weight of the wagons and quick check of goods present on the cargo.
