Multimodal transport operator RUSCON (part of the Delo Group) says it launched its own weekly ferry service in November 2022.
The ferry will run between Samsun (Republic of Turkey) and Novorossiysk, to be handled at the NUTEP Container Terminal (part of DeloPorts, the stevedoring asset of Delo Group). The project is aimed at expiation of cargo turnover with Turkey, one of the main trading partners of Russia.
Alexander Shopin, the CEO of RUSCON-Broker (part of RUSCON Group), commented: "The ferry complex, including the berth, stevedoring facilities of our NUTEP partners and RUSCON off-port terminal, is the basis for our own shipping line development. This has substantially increased the throughput capacity and cargo turnover of the Delo Group's assets in Novorossiysk.
We are grateful for the Russian Export Center's intensive support. Active successful cooperation with the Ministry of Transport and state regulatory bodies of the Russian Federation allows us to steadily develop this ferry project”.
