The service lets develop alternative routes via Chinese ports
To expand its network of own routes, FESCO Transportation Group launches a new container service, FESCO Trans China Railway, from Japan to Uzbekistan via Chana and Kazakhstan. According to FESCO, the service includes a sea leg between the Japanese port of Yokohama and the Chinese port of Lianyungang (Jiangsu province). Then containers are transported by Trans China Railway linking Chiana and Kazakhstan. At the Khorgos - Altinkol border crossing containers are reloaded onto the 1520 mm gauge track rolling stock and then delivered to the point of destination, Chukursai station in Tashkent, Uzbekistan.
Shipment frequency is twice a month. The key cargo of the new service will be car components from Japan.
