Beijing Trans Eurasia International Logistics and Bahnoperator have launched an eastbound block train service that routes shipments from Europe to Dalian in China for onward shipping by sea to South Korea and Japan.
The company has started offering an intermodal solution that routes cargo from a number of Chinese, Korean, and Japanese ports to the Russian ones in Vladivostok and Vostochniy and then dispatches it by rail to St. Petersburg.
The Neapolitan Group has entrusted Hyundai Mipo Dockyard with the delivery of what will constitute the new G5-class of multipurpose vessels designed to carry trucks, trailers, cars, and containers.
The combined service, launched in August 2019 in partnership with Modul and Global Ports, saw its first eastbound train dispatched from St. Petersburg on 28 March.
FESCO and RZD Logistics, a subsidiary of Russian Railways, have sea-linked the Chinese port with the Russian one in Vladivostok from which containers head to Europe by rail.
FESCO and Hyundai Glovis have set up a regular sea-rail container service on which spare car parts and other components are transported from South Korea to Hyundai's factory in St. Petersburg.
