Siberian pellets now to be carried by rail


Russian intermodal operator Trans Container and Global Ports Group have launched a joint project to expedite the delivery of fuel pellets regularly every two weeks from Siberia to Europe via St Petersburg, Russia. The combination of seamless rail transportation and fast bulk loading at Petrolesport in Russia results in increased speed and efficiency for pellet transportation.

 

The first cargo transported as part of the project was a batch of 120 containers carrying 2,500 t of premium class wood pellets from the Krasnoyarsk Region, delivered to the Danish port of Frederikshavn for the Green Timber Group.

 

The cargo took eight days to deliver by train in Russia from Karabula to the Petrolesport terminal, where it was loaded onto a vessel using brand-new technology to transfer bulk cargo directly from containers within a day. (ben)
