FESCO launches new intra-Russia rail service

FESCO Transportation Group has expanded its domestic network by starting a regular rail service from Saint Petersburg to the Russian cities of Chita and Blagoveshchensk via Moscow.

Loaded with 56 containers, the first train departed from Terminal Sea Fish Port of Saint Petersburg Port on 7 February.

With the launch of this service, FESCO customers will now have the ability to deliver goods to the Transbaikal territory and the Amur region via the capital of Russia by using one single logistics service, according to a statement.

Container trains will depart once a week from one of the marine terminals of Saint Petersburg to arrive at terminal and logistics centre Beliy Rast in Moscow, where some containers will be reloaded to FESCO trains, destined for Chita and Blagoveshchensk.

Total transit time to the first station Chita is expected to be 12 days, while 14 days will be needed for the second station Blagoveshchensk.

“The service is focused on the transportation of both imported and domestic goods that are produced in the North-Western region of Russia and the basis of cargo flow will be formed by consumer goods,” said the Russian transportation company.
