FESCO Transport Group has launched a container terminal in Bataisk, Rostov region in South Russia. The new facility has a territory of 5 hectares. The annual capacity is 27,000 TEU and more than 310,000 tons.
Before opening the terminal FESCO used the railway station of Rostov Zapadny located within the city boundaries to handle containers. The new facility will allow of moving part of cargo flows outside the city.
In future, the terminal can be used for expanding the frequency of FESCO’s regular services between Commercial Port of Vladivostok in the Russian Far East and the Rostov region.
FESCO has been operating in the Rostov region since 2016. In 2025, the Group handled more than 14,000 TEU in the region, more than 25% above the 2024 result.
This year, FESCO carried more than 9,000 TEU during January-August, more than twice as much as during the same period last year.
