FESCO Transportation Group (FESCO) has launched a regular container service FESCO Kuban shuttle on route Vladivostok – Timashevsk (Krasnodar Territory) as part of the expansion of domestic transportation.
Trains will depart once every two weeks from the Commercial Port of Vladivostok (CPV, a FESCO company) and will arrive at station Timashevskaya of North Caucasus Railway. In future, it is planned to increase the frequency of dispatches to once a week. Time en route is 12-13 days. The basis of the cargo flow of the service will be food products, consumer, and construction goods.
Expansion of domestic transportation
FESCO Kuban Shuttle is focused primarily on the delivery of cargo from Asian countries for enterprises of the Krasnodar Territory, Rostov Region, and other regions of the North Caucasus and Southern Federal Districts. Currently, FESCO is working on a cargo base for loading the service in the opposite direction.
The first train loaded with 98 containers of consumer goods arrived at the terminal of station Timashevskaya on October 15. Containers were unloaded to the site in just 18.5 hours, which made it possible to deliver part of the cargo to end users in less than a day from the arrival of the train.
