FESCO launches new weekly shuttle train on the Vladivostok-Moscow route to T1 Horvino terminal
FESCO Transportation Group will launch FESCO Moscow Shuttle Khovrino (FMSKh), a new weekly shuttle train on the route from Vladivostok station to Horvino station, Oktyabrskaya Railway to T1 Hovrino terminal. FMSKh is another railway component of regular FESCO intermodal services, the Group said Thursday.
The first shipment is scheduled for February, 2016. Transit time of the weekly, firm-schedule rail service is 10 days.
FMSKh is geared toward cargo shipped from ports in Southeast Asia through the Vladivostok Sea Port in both FESCO containers and shipper owned containers, as well as cargo shipped from the Far East. The service will expand opportunities for clients carrying out shipments in bonded transit mode. Shipments that have undergone customs clearance in Vladivostok will be accepted as well.
FMSKh is an addition to the existing FESCO Moscow Shuttles arriving at the Silikatnaya station and the Kupavna station of the Moscow Railway. The expansion of the number of receiving stations is aimed at optimization logistics and reduction costs of FESCO clients through the operation of three key terminals of the Moscow region located in the south, north and east of the capital.
