Freight turnover

In 2013, railway freight turnover excluding the empty run of other owner’s railcars decreased by 1.2% and amounted to 2,196.2 billion tonne-kilometres. This slowdown is mainly attributed to reduced volumes in domestic traffic (-2.2%) rather than to the reduction in international traffic (-0.3%). The structure of freight turnover during the period also changed, with domestic traffic decreasing from 44.2% to 43.7% while international traffic (export, import and transit) increased from 55.7% to 56.3%.

Total freight turnover (including the empty run of other owner’s railcars) increased by 1.1% in 2013 and totalled 2,813.1 billion tonne-kilometres.
