We are delighted to welcome CENTRAL RAILWAYS A.S. as the 200th member of the Agreement on freight Train Transfer Inspections (ATTI) Special Group.
This achievement underscores the growing recognition of ATTI’s pivotal role in enhancing the efficiency and interoperability of freight wagon operations across Europe and is an acknowledgement from the sector of the importance of making rail freight transfers seamless.
What is ATTI?
ATTI is a cooperative framework that simplifies and accelerates the handover of freight trains between railway partners. By becoming a cosignatory, companies avoid the need for time-consuming bilateral agreements, benefitting instead from harmonised processes that reduce dwell time and enhance overall productivity.
At the heart of ATTI lies the adoption of ISO sampling methods for wagon inspections, as well as a shared rulebook using the General Contract of Use for Wagons (GCU). This creates a level playing field for participating railway undertakings, ensuring trust and consistency across borders.
Key advantages of ATTI membership
ATTI offers a comprehensive and standardised quality management system, covering technical inspections, dangerous goods compliance, and operational data validation. With clearly defined procedures and an established reporting system, members can efficiently address any quality-related discrepancies that arise during handovers.
In short, ATTI empowers its members to increase commercial speed, optimise resources, and boost productivity – key factors in staying competitive in today’s rail freight market.
