South Korea – St. Petersburg bimodal in 16 days
Maersk’s Asia-Northern Europe ocean-rail service, previously offered on a monthly basis in west-bound direction only, will now be providing fortnightly connections in both directions, from Asia to Europe and from Europe to Asia. This is expected to help many customers who are currently facing difficulties with their imports/export logistics, due to Covid-19, Maersk said.
The entire journey, starting from Busan (South Korea) to Vostochy (Russia) in a ship, followed by Vostochy to St. Petersburg in Russia by rail, takes a mere 16 days. Because the rail service only operates within Russia, customers avoid border congestion. The transport service is operated in close cooperation with Pantos Logistics, based in South Korea. (ben)
