In order to ensure comfortable operating conditions for clients during the preholiday season, FESCO Transportation Group is reducing the overall transit time for transportation of goods on the FESCO Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky Line (FPKL) because of lowing cargo turnaround time in the port of loading (Vladivostok Commercial Sea Port) from eight to four days. This is ensured by the involvement of the additional tonnage on the FPKL, FESCO says in a press release.
Shipping delivery time on FPKL remains the same (four days), the total transit time between Moscow and Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky reduces from 26 to 22 days.
Container vessels FESCO Novik and FESCO Navarin works on the FPKL on regular base, the Kapitan Krems container ship operates on the FPKL during peak-period.
The year-round FPKL service provides transportation in dry, refrigerated COC and SOC containers for both interportal connection and for direct mixed railway-maritime connection, as well as general cargo. The service includes the option for delivery to the recipient’s warehouse («door-to-door» service).
