CMA CGM and FESCO have established a new, large volume, Baltic Sea feeder service between Hamburg and the St Petersburg, SKRIN Newswire reported.
In the weekly service, two 1A ice-class ships are in use, with a capacity of 1440 TEUs and 1730 TEUs.
In the past five years, container traffic between Hamburg and St Petersburg increased fourfold. Container traffic achieved growth of 22 percent in 2007 and reached a volume of 730,000 TEUs.
On the average, there are 30 weekly departures in the direction of Russian Baltic Sea ports starting in Hamburg from 14 different feeder companies.
The high departure density makes it possible for export loads to also be transported via Hamburg to Russia several times a day.
