New train between Moscow and Far East
Russian transport group Fesco has expanded its domestic route network with the launch of a new regular container train. The ‘Fesco Chita Shuttle’ runs weekly from the Bely Rast Terminal and Logistics Centre in Moscow to Chita, in Russia's Far East.
Transit time is seven days. The planned transportation volume is 300-400 teu per month. The service will be mainly used for the transportation of goods varying from consumer products to equipment. Door-to-door delivery is also available, according to Fesco.
The Bely Rast hub is a joint venture of RZD and Port Liaoning Group that includes a container-piggyback terminal with a processing capacity of up to 275,000 teu per year, as well as a complex of universal distribution warehouses and an inert cargo terminal. (ben)
