Container Terminal Saint Petersburg (CTSP) handled the first container train as part of a new service for the delivery of goods from Yekaterinburg to St. Petersburg. The express service was organized by the logistics operator Universal Forwarder in conjunction with Freight One.
The container train consists of sixty two TEU containers laden with the products of the metallurgical industry. The containerized cargo arrived in July at CTSP from the Yekaterinburg-Tovarny station of the Sverdlovsk Railway and will proceed to South America and Asia by seaborne transport.
The new service makes it possible to deliver goods from the center of the Urals to St. Petersburg in a short time, bypassing offdock terminals, switch yards and stops. The container train’s transit time is an average of 3-4 days.
