DB starts operations of Rail Bridge with relief goods for Ukraine

DB sent the first container train via its rail bridge to Ukraine. 15 containers with things like food, warm clothing, or medical supplies. The rail bridge is operated by DB Cargo and DB Schenker.

The cargo includes sleeping bags, sleeping mats, diapers, canned food, drinking water, warm clothing, and baby food, as well as medical products such as syringes, plasters, gauze bandages, and cannulas. In this way, a total of 350 tons of relief supplies will be brought to Ukraine.

"The rail provides a stable connection to Ukraine. Today we are starting to help quickly - with what is needed most. A stable connection and experience in logistics processes are important here so that we can help reliably," says Dr. Sigrid Nikutta, Member of the Board of Management of Deutsche Bahn Group for freight transport and head of DB Cargo.

This rail bridge will supposedly enable the transportation of thousands of tons of supplies of all kinds.
