RUSCON sent container train from Novorossiysk to Nakhodka for the first time
In April 2022, the multimodal logistics operator RUSCON (part of the Delo Group (Group)) successfully completed its first dispatch of container train. It was following Novorossiysk-Nakhodka route, according to Delo Group.
This dispatch was the first stage of a shipment delivery of synthetic rubber to China. The cargo was loaded at the RUSCON terminal in Novorossiysk in 39 40-foot containers. Then the cargo will be shipped via the terminal of the Vostochnaya Stevedoring Company (a stevedoring asset of Global Ports, part of the Group) to a Chinese customer. In order to achieve additional synergy effects, the rolling stock for the container train was provided by TransContainer - one another asset of the Group. The entire logistics operation and forwarding services, including railway and maritime delivery shoulders, was organized by RUSCON.
Commenting on the dispatch to Nakhodka, Andrey Chernyshev, the Senior Vice President of RUSCON said: “This route has become a new export corridor. This route will help reliably link the South of Russia with the Asia-Pacific region. In conditions of logistical difficulties in the western direction, we will be happy to help our exporters of non-energy non-resource products from the Southern Federal District to organize dispatches to foreign markets in a guaranteed and responsive way through alternative routes”.
