SASCO raises rates for Vladivostok-Magadan-Vladivostok service

OJSC Sakhalin Shipping Company (SASCO) raises rates for port-to-port transportation of containers, equipment and other general cargoes at the line service Vladivostok-Magadan-Vladivostok, the company’s press center says.

The decision has been driven by the increased fuel, operational and terminal costs.

New rates are applicable starting from M/V Selenga No 1419.

Regular container service Vladivostok-Magadan was launched in November 2009. Vladivostok-Magadan links port Vladivostok (north-west coast of the Sea of Japan) and port Magadan (north-east of Siberia)

OJSC Sakhalin Shipping Company (SASCO) is one of the largest shipping companies in Russia. SASCO’s own fleet comprising mostly ice-class vessels transports a wide range of cargoes: containers, general cargoes, equipment, suction and grab bulk cargo, timber and wood products. The company provides year-round transportation from the ports of De-Kastri, Vanino and Sovetskaya Gavan.
