The management of the FESCO transport group stated that it plans to increase the fleet on the Kaliningrad-St. Petersburg sea line. The day before, regional authorities discussed this possibility with the company’s management, the regional government’s press service reported. Let us remind you that at the beginning of February, the FESCO transport group launched a new cabotage transportation service in the North-West region. Then the ship “FESCO Nagaevo” first sailed from Baltiysk to the port of Bronka. “This was a new direction for us, which now shows one hundred percent load. The sea line operates confidently and steadily, so we have plans to increase the fleet in the Baltic,” said Andrey Severilov, Chairman of the Board of Directors of the FESCO transport group.
In turn, Governor Anton Alikhanov noted that joint work on the development of transport and logistics infrastructure in the region with FESCO has been going on for several years. “We are currently open to further effective cooperation to reliably solve strategic problems in the field of maritime transportation,” he concluded. As RBC Kaliningrad wrote, in September 2021, Fesco and the regional government signed a cooperation agreement. The parties agreed to consider the possibility of implementing an investment project to create an international transport and logistics complex in the region, as well as launch training programs in the field of logistics to form a personnel reserve in the industry.
At the end of May last year, Fesco sent the first container train from Chengdu, China to Kaliningrad via Kazakhstan.
In March 2023, it became known that the Fesco transport group plans to purchase its own container terminal in the northern capital for the Kaliningrad-St. Petersburg line.
