FESCO starts first full-length intercontinental rail service

FESCO Transportation Group has sent its first full-length container train with cargo from the Republic of Korea to Europe, with the vision of developing the FESCO Trans Baltic Bridge (FTBB) rapid transit cargo delivery service.

The loaded with 62 forty-foot containers train of various equipment, including lighting and solar panels was dispatched by the regular FESCO sea line from Busan to Commercial Port of Vladivostok (CPV) which is part of FESCO.

The container train arrived in St. Petersburg on 29 July, and from there, the containers will be delivered by FESCO’s sea service to ports of Germany, the Netherlands and Belgium, according to a statement.

It is estimated that the transit time of the delivery takes about 30 days, which is 10-14 days faster than the alternative route via the Suez Canal.

FESCO is actively developing the line of intermodal transit services from countries of the Asia-Pacific Region (APR) to Europe, via Russia.

In addition to the regular Trans-Siberian LandBridge service, the FTBB service was launched this year with dispatch route: APR countries – CPV – port of St. Petersburg – European countries.
