Russia's FESCO activates a rail service for containers
between Shanghai and Moscow
Transit time is 20 days
As part of initiatives to increase transport services
connecting Russia to Eastern markets, in an attempt to
remedy the impossibility of exchanging goods with
nations on the country's western borders as a result of sanctions
imposed by the West for the invasion of Ukraine by the
Moscow troops, the Russian logistics group FESCO (Far Eastern
Shipping Company) has activated a rail service for containers
connecting Shanghai to Moscow.
On July 3rd a first convoy with 49 containers on board
FESCO 40' and two 20' departed from Minhang station in
Shanghai. The trip includes a stop at the border crossing of
Erlian - Zamyn Uud, between China and Mongolia, to load containers on
1520 mm gauge rolling stock, and then continue the
transport to Silikatnaya station, near Moscow.
FESCO has announced that trains will depart from Shanghai twice
per month, with a possible subsequent increase in frequency, and that
the transit time is 20 days.
