Transport Group FESCO (base company JSC Far East Shipping Company) is planning to launch a container carrier with a capacity of over 3,000 TEUs on the Chinese service in December 2010, FESCO’s major stockholder and President Sergey Generalov said in an interview with PortNews.
The container ship was bought before the crisis and was saved with great difficulty during the economic recession.
First of all, FESCO plans to increase the number and tonnage of its own Far East shipping lines. "Over the last three quarters of the year, we have built up the total capacity of the fleet on the Chinese service by 70%, from 3,500 TEUs to 5,900 TEUs, and on the Korean service - more than twice," said Sergey Generalov.
