Exceptional Transport A transport is considered exceptional if, due to its dimensions, its loading gauge or its weight, in correlation with the characteristics of the railway infrastructure on which it will run, it can be admitted only when complying with certain special technical or operating conditions. The following transports are considered exceptional transports: a) the loads that do not comply with the binding conditions set out in the UIC Loading Guidelines; b) the loading units that need to be transhipped, if the mass of each object exceeds 25 tones; c) the shipments that have to be loaded on a ferry-boat and comply with the provisions set out in GCU and CUV (former Annex IV to RIV); d) the wagons with more than 8 axles, if loaded, e) the railway track vehicles running on own wheels which represent the purpose of a transport contract, if not marked,

f)   other transports representing the purpose of the specific instructions approved by means of the order
     of the Minister of Transport.
For the guidance of the exceptional transports in the international traffic, there are needed taking-over
agreements from all the railways participating in the transport or only from the railways holding the lines
on which the relevant transports are considered exceptional. The taking-over agreements are to be
requested and obtained by the RU.
The detailed regulations on exceptional transports are set out in the Instructions on Approving and
Dispatching Exceptional Transports on the Public Railway Infrastructure – No. 328/2008.

The method of allocating infrastructure capacity for exceptional transports is described in Article 4.5.3.
