Logistics Transport

KORAIL’s Logistics Business HQ
is making a leap forward to become a total logistics service provider which transports containers, cement, coal, steel, etc. and offers logistics related services such as loading/unloading, storage, and warehousing.
Railway logistics is energy efficient and eco-friendly, thereby gaining its importance more than ever. The energy usage per unit is 10.2% of cargo vehicles and the CO2 emission per unit is 12.0% of cargo vehicles.

In addition, large-scale transport is available at one go (above 1,000 tonnes); there are no traffic holdups that exists with roads, and the weather condition (snow, rain, wind, etc.) has very little no impact on train railway transport.
