Greater capacity on East Med and Black Sea
According to Russian media, the Delo Group is expanding capacities on its fortnightly service to and from Novorossiysk, Alexandria, Ashdod and back to Novorossiysk. The company will deploy a 630 teu vessel instead of the 466 teu unit in place.
Sergey Berezkin, president of Delo Group's unit Ruscon, said that the decision was taken after a two-month trial of service operations and in response to increasing demand among cargo owners in Russia, Israel, and Egypt. He added that "the container vessel is equipped with specialised reefer outlets for refrigerated containers from Israel and Egypt."
The Delo Group is a Russian transport and logistics holding operating its own fleet and container terminals in the Azov-Black Sea, the Baltic states and the Far East. (sh)
