KTS Rail Facilities
Railway was used from many years ago to transport goods. KTS Co offers movement of container , break bulk cargo, liquids, gas, gasoline, chemical liquids, over gage and over weight consignments as one of its qualified services and facilities.
We are completely familiar with Iran and CIS routes of transportation by Rail and we move your consignments according to SMGS rules in the best way.

Technical management : 
By technical management of movement we mean choosing suitable routes and sometimes choosing the best ways of transportation for the required cargoes .
Our company has good experienc for choosing suitable wagons for different transportation with considering volume , dimension , foundation and quality of wagons.
Although we are just forwarder in transportation by Rail , but it is very important to choose the desired kind of wagon , loading plan , cargo lashing, the route and the way of movement. 
Our Group is very experienced at planning transportation by Rail to Iran, CIS, Afghanistan, Russia and other destinations in the neighboring countries to Iran in the following ways :

Transportation to CIS :
Shahid Rajaee jetty in Bandar Abbas is a loading and discharging port which have Railway station where is connected to the Persian Gulf and it has the required facilities such as crane , warehouse , laboring force , also it has the facilities for stripping ( unloading ) and loading of break-bulk cargoes and containerized ones, you can find more details of this jetty in another parts of our site.
As you can see on the map , this route of transportation by Rail , from Bandar Abbas to Tehran , from Tehran to Mashhad and then finally to Sarakhs , and from Sarakhs / Turkmenistan is connected to CIS Railway.
According to our experience we suggest a more economical and nearer route of transportation which is kind of combined transportation by truck, ship and rail. ,e.g. if you are going to transport your consignment to Aksai or any place in the west of Kazakhstan we suggest you on the below mentioned ways :
A. From Bandar Abbas to Bandar Anzali (Caspian Sea ports) by truck and from there to Aktau or Astrakhan by ship From this place we can move the cargo by rail to the required final destinations. Although this route enjoys a longer transit time but the rate would be more economical.
B. If you require a more reasonable or shorter transit time, then we will have to transport the cargo by truck. Our suggested route for the less transit time is Bandar Abbas - Port of Nowshahr and then movement by Ro-Ro ship to Aktau/Kazakhstan and finally movement by truck to Aksai after discharging from the ship.
C. Direct transportation from Bandar Abbas to Aksai by rail which is economical for SOC by flat wagon and break bulk cargoes by covered wagon.
In any case we'll be able to transport your cargo to your required destinations.
Then we carry the cargoes from the Caspian Sea to different ports in Krasnodesk or Turkmenbashi / Turkmenistan , Aktau / Kazakhstan , Baku / Azerbaijan , Astrakhan , Mokhach Qalah / Russia, etc by Russian ships. After discharging from ship , they are carried by Rail from one of the mentioned ports to final destination.

Transportation by Rail to Pakistan:
Since the only connecting route of transportation by Rail between Iran and Pakistan ( according to Rail Map ) is terminated to Teftan border in Pakistan; therefore, this route begins from Mirjaveh Iran's customs and it is continued to Zahedan and at last the consignments are being transported to final destination If the final destinations are in Iran it will be carried by truck and if the cargo is to be transited from Bandar Abbas it will be carried by ship and if it is to be carried to CIS it will be carried by truck or rail .

Transportation by Rail to Europe :
Movement of cargos to Turkey and Syria and finally to Eastern and Western Europe is done via Razi Station which is linked to I.R.I. Railway . We can support such service
Iran railway stations for carrying containers and cargoes in break-bulk and their distance to Sarakhs are as follow:
BANDAR ABBAS : 2440 KM 
TEHRAN :  1053 KM
TABRIZ :   1789 KM

-Transportation of liquids (liquid consignments):

One of the services that our company offers is to carry liquid consignments which are such as dangerous (hazardous) and industrial gases, which are carried by special wagons for gas , from CIS to the required final destinations.  

 

Transportation of COC  containers by rail:

Our group , by concluding the required contracts with CIS Railway according to SMGS rules,  having the required agents in different stations in CIS countries, has the facilities to carry COC containers or Round trip Containers which are to be carried from Bandar Abbas /Iran to CIS and which are to be returned to the shipping line in Bandar Abbas after discharging .This kind of movement is very economical for accounting the rate of carriage for COC Containers for farthest reaches in CIS.

 

Transportation of SOC containers by rail:

Also there is another way to transport heavy cargoes by SOC containers which you can buy yourself from the origin and then load them as much as you want without any weight limitation. then we can sales your empty containers at the destinations. in this way the rates will be very ecconomic.
