FESCO Russian Pacific Line, a FESCO Transport Group Co, a key logistics provider to Russia, said that it was adding Tacoma as a port of call and introducing a fortnightly service to Vladivostok and all points in the Russian Far East with the first sailing scheduled for November 17.
The new service will depart the Port of Tacoma with a transit time of 14 days to Vladivostok and will include breakbulk, roll on/roll off, and project cargoes.
“We are introducing this improved service to meet our customers’ growing needs to the Russian Far East with more frequent sailings and faster service,” said Mike Evans, FESCO’s North American president.
“We are the only provider offering breakbulk and roll on/roll off service out of the Port of Tacoma and the Port of Everett with a direct call in Vladivostok, which is Russia’s largest port city on the Pacific Ocean.”
The top exports from the Pacific Northwest to the Russian Far East are vehicles and parts, mining machinery, and agricultural equipment, as well as oil and gas project cargoes.
“Moving cargo direct from the ports of Tacoma and Everett allows us to provide our customers with very competitive rates,” said Evans. Cargonews Asia
