Rail Services
Nurminen Logistics delivers normal export and import transports as well as versatile project and special transport services for rail traffic between Finland and Russia and other CIS countries. The company has at its disposal 1,000 of its own railway wagons. In addition to its own wagons, Nurminen also operates wagons belonging to its partners. The wagons are designed to meet the varied needs of the customers.
Nurminen Logistics is able to provide its customers with an entire logistics value chain. Maintaining its own rolling stock ensures that Nurminen can guarantee the necessary number of wagons when the customer needs them, regardless of the wagon availability situation in Russia. The customer receives all logistics services from one counter, and all links in the logistics chain are in the hands of one operator.
Own Rolling Stock
Nurminen Logistics’ own rolling stock includes six different wagon types:
- 450 covered wagons
- 224 woodchip wagons
- 235 flat wagons
- 58 stanchion wagons
- 12 steel wagons
- 10 tank wagons
A Wide Range of Partners
In addition to its own wagons, Nurminen also has at its disposal a wide range of rolling stock from its partners. For example, the cooperation agreement with the Russian wagon operator Transgarant includes, among other things, a mutual use agreement for rail wagons. Transgarant is Russia’s second-largest privately-owned railway operator. It operates around 15,000 railway wagons, of which it owns 80 per cent.
Certified rail transport
Nurminen’s rail transport in Finland is certified. An audit by Inspecta Sertifiointi in the summer of 2008 inspected Nurminen's quality, environmental, occupational health and safety systems. Nurminen’s operations were found to comply with the requirements of ISO 9001:2000, ISO 14001:2004 and OHSAS 18001 standards.

Russia is Railroad Country
More than one million freight wagons travel on Russia’s railways. Off all the country’s freight, 43% is transported by rail. The operation, maintenance and monitoring of Nurminen Logistics’ wagons in Russia is done by Nurminen’s St Petersburg based subsidiary, OOO Huolintakeskus.
