As part of its efforts to expand the terminal network,

  • FESCO plans to build a terminal with a handling capacity of 450 thousand TEU in the Trans-Baikal Territory and strengthen its logistics services via land border crossings;
  • in Kazan we joined forces with the regional government to develop intermodal transportation, including the launch of routes to deliver cargo from Southeast Asia via Vladivostok in heavyweight containers and construction of a new container terminal. The two-stage project includes reaching a handling capacity of 70 thousand TEU by 2024 and a subsequent ramp-up to 150 thousand TEU by 2027;
  • in St Petersburg the Group is looking into the potential acquisition of an operating terminal to streamline cargo flows and combine shipping and rail services.
