Owners of the Baltic Fuel Company (BFC) have secured a RUB1.05b (€12.1m) loan to construct a terminal for storing and handling bitumen, liquid asphalt, and producing modified bitumen with plasticizers.
The terminal, located on the island of Kronstadt near St. Petersburg, has handled its first batch of cars (1,097) of the Chinese Chery and Geely brands, brought onboard KESS Line's Seine Highway from Zeebrugge.
As of September 6, the company's trains will run between DUSS-Terminal Duisburg Ruhrort Hafen and Terminal Intermodale Milano Segrate six instead of five times per week.
With the help of Helrom Trailer Rail, the connection, which had been tested since August 2020, has become a regular one, offering three roundtrips per week.
The new service has been set up to carry timber products from the Fiskarheden sawmill in Dalarna in mid-west Sweden to Asian markets via the Port of Gothenburg.
