First Container Terminal, part of Delo Group’s stevedoring holding Global Ports, handled the first vessel call of Honrise container ship of the foreign trade transport and forwarding company Transmasters.
Since August, Transmasters has been replacing universal cargo vessels with specialised container vessels for international services between the ports in the Asia-Pacific region and St. Petersburg.
The 198-meter Honrise vessel with a capacity of 1,662 TEUs has replaced the Huanghai Advance ship and operates on the China-Sri Lanka-Russia (FCT) route.
In addition to Honrise, two other container ships of similar capacity and two feeder vessels operate on the route, transporting containerised cargo between ports in China and Colombo port in Sri Lanka.
According to Global Ports, the company’s Baltic terminals FCT and Ust-Luga Container Terminal have been handling Transmasters’ vessels since 2022.
