FESCO Transportation Group (FESCO) is expanding the geography of transit routes and is launching a regular intermodal container service, FESCO West Gate Bridge, from countries of the Asia-Pacific region to ports of Europe, via Vladivostok and Kaliningrad in Russia.

FESCO West Gate Bridge service

The new service, FESCO West Gate Bridge, includes marine shipment by regular FESCO lines, from the Asia-Pacific region to the Commercial Port of Vladivostok (CPV, part of the FESCO Group), then by a regular train to Kaliningrad, in Russia.

After that, the containers will be loaded onto vessels, at the terminal of the Baltic Stevedoring Company (BSC) and sent to ports in Europe.

Faster trade route in comparison to via Suez Canal

FESCO also plans to develop transportations in the region, through the newly opened TLC East-West service. Regularity of shipments will be 2 to 4 times per month. Estimated transit time is approx. 36 days, which is almost 1.5 times faster than the alternative route via the Suez Canal.

The basis of cargo flow of the new service is wide range cargo – from consumer goods to equipment. The first train consisting of 50 forty-foot containers was dispatched from Vladivostok, in Russia on December 6, 2021.
