Two container trains arrived at VSC by rail from Suifenhe (China) via Grodekovo border crossing point. Time in transit of containers by rail from the originating station to the terminal was less than 24 hours, the Company said Monday in a press release.

Both trains were handled by the terminal on the day of their arrival. The total batch was 126 TEUs. After unloading containers were placed in a temporary storage facility pending execution of documents and formation of a shipload to be subsequently shipped by sea to the Port of Busan in South Korea.
