Rail-sea service to the East launched
Ruscon and Sakhalin Shipping Company (Sasco), both part of Delo Group, have launched a joint multimodal service on the Moscow-Vladivostok-Korsakov-Magadan route in Russia.
Trains from Ruscon's own terminal at Kresty station (Moscow) depart for Ugolnaya station (Vladivostok) every ten days. Travel time by rail is 15 days. From Vladivostok the cargoes are dispatched on Sascao ships to the port of Korsakov (Sakhalin Island), and then to Magadan in the eastern regions of Russia.
The cargo can be containerised at the terminal in Moscow and containers can be delivered for loading and unloading both at the point of dispatch or any other point along the route, Delo said. The service can transport a wide range of cargo, including exports to various destinations. (ben)
