Center of Corporate Transportation Services

The Corporate Transportation Service (CTS) was established by the Ministry of Railways of the Russian Federation in 1996 to implement rail freight transportation services and develop a marketing policy. During the process of reforming the federal railways, the CTS became part of the marketing and sales structure at Russian Railways.

The CTS operates as a "single window" and works with clients to provide the full cycle of services, developing and executing orders for the carriage of goods, as well as performing contract work with forwarding companies, owners of railway rolling stock and other players on the transport market.

The CTS acts on behalf of the client as a single contractor vis–à–vis all the departments and units involved at Russian Railways and guarantees the quality and timeliness of order execution on behalf of Russian Railways.
