Starting September 25, 2022, multimodal operator Ruscon, part of the Delo Group, is expanding the maritime part of the route as part of its own multimodal service development for containerized cargo from/to Israel. The service will be operated by a 630 TEU vessel instead of the 466 TEU container ship deployed before.
The service schedule will include regular calls to Alexandria in Egypt. Thus, the higher-capacity vessel will cover the new Novorossiysk – Alexandria – Ashdod – Novorossiysk route with twice-a-week frequency.
Sergey Berezkin, President of Ruscon, noted that the decision to increase the service scope was made after 2 months of service operations to meet the high demand among cargo owners in Russia, Israel and Egypt.
“In addition to the increased carrying capacity, the container vessel has more efficient characteristics. It is equipped with specialized reefer outlets for transportation of refrigerated containers from Israel and Egypt. This expands the range of high-quality maritime container logistics services provided by Ruscon to our customers,” Berezkin said.
