The consignors’ total expenses related to the shipment of goods via First Freight Company’s (PGK) open wagons rose by 3% on average, the company’s press service reports.

‘The decision to reconsider our fares was taken due to the need to compensate the current lagging behind of our prices as far as the average market prices are concerned. Prior to February 2012, the price of shipping goods via our open wagons was 20% to 25% lower than the average market price. After the indexation, our prices are 10% lower than the market’s average ones,’ the company’s press release states.
