DELO's logistics operator RUSCON launches direct multimodal service to Israel
In June 2022, a logistics operator RUSCON (part of the Delo Group), successfully implemented the first shipment of ninety 40-foot containers, as part of its new multimodal service between Russia and Israel. The shipment was sent by sea from Novorossiysk to the port of Ashdod. The purpose of these shipments is to link the regions of our country with the Israeli ones through the seaports of the two states, the Group said in a media release.
Transportation within Russia is provided by RUSCON regular services. The consolidation points in Novorossiysk are RUSCON 's own terminal and the NUTEP Container Terminal. The sea transportation shoulder is fully organized by RUSCON.
Currently the frequency of calls to Novorossiysk for this service is once in two weeks. Last mile service is available to RUSCON customers in Israel.
Commenting on the new service Andrey Chernyshev, the Senior Vice-President of RUSCON, said: “Under the conditions of partial uncertainty of the situation in the world, RUSCON is doing its best not only to maintain the existing logistic chains, but also to create new ones. Undoubtedly, the launch of the new service in Israel is a significant progress in expanding the geography of RUSCON 's multimodal services on the Black and Mediterranean seas. Such development makes it possible to offer our clients secure solutions for transportations in import-export directions. High demand for the service is evidenced by the loading of cargoes of Israeli manufacturers to Russian cargo owners already in the first call. Partaking of several Delo Group’ assets in the Russia-Israel service allows us to achieve a significant synergy effect and minimize the impact of the current negative factors”.
