Ruscon, a logistics operator, part of Delo Group, has launched a new multimodal container service from China to Russia via the port of Novorossiysk. According to Delo Group, the company has cleared all organizational matters and now it is negotiating with customers and forming a cargo base.
The first shipment is scheduled to take place in September. The initial loading point is the Chinese port of Taicang. From there, the cargo vessel will proceed to the port of Qingdao on September 11, and later to Istanbul on September 16. In Turkey, containers will be loaded on board a feeder vessel and delivered to the NUTEP Terminal in Novorossiysk, also part of Delo Group. The total transit time from Taicang to Novorossiysk is 40 days.
Non-hazardous cargoes are accepted for transportation in 40-foot containers, both owned by the customer or provided by RUSCON. Customers are provided a full range of services, including customs clearance, warehousing, and cargo handling. In Novorossiysk we offer reloading and delivery by RUSCON’s own railway services and delivery by trucks to any region of Russia.
Sergey Berezkin, the President of Ruscon, said: “The key advantage of this service is that we quickly gather our containers in Istanbul and deliver them to Novorossiysk. So, customers do not have to wait for the formation of any significant cargo lot in Turkey”.
