The logistics operator Octet Cargo, a subsidiary of the Agency for the Development of Project Initiatives, together with the container operator Russian Railways Business Active, are launching a new multimodal container service from Blagoveshchensk across Russia.
The first train, loaded with fifty forty-foot containers, departed on August 11 from the Blagoveshchensk station to the Bezymyanka support terminal of Russian Railways Business Active JSC in Samara. Medical supplies will be supplied from China by Torgmall.
The service is focused on ensuring cargo turnover between China and Russia at the new Kani-Kurgan customs crossing in the Amur region. The multimodal route includes the delivery of goods by road from China across the bridge across the Amur River, which opened this year, to the KANIKURGAN Customs and Logistics Terminal, where customs clearance, necessary processing and preparation for shipment take place.
As part of the service, Russian Railways Business Active JSC provides the provision of rolling stock, payment of railway tariffs throughout Russia, as well as terminal and warehouse services at departure and destination stations.
The multimodal container service represents weekly regular routes from China via the KANIKURGAN TLT to Central Russia from Blagoveshchensk station. The main cargo flow of the new direction: consumer goods, food products, cosmetics and medical products.
“The launch of such projects is a priority. After all, this helps to reorient many chains and connections towards the East and form new transport corridors. The service will reduce mileage across Russia by 1,500 km relative to the nearest railway formation points. trains in Vladivostok and Ussuriysk to the west without a significant increase in mileage in China. We hope for cooperation as cargo turnover increases and Russia’s foreign trade with Asia-Pacific countries develops,” noted Pavel Puzanov, Deputy Chairman of the Government of the Amur Region.
“Our task is to offer modern logistics infrastructure in the Amur region in the changed market conditions and provide foreign trade participants with the necessary service to conduct effective business with China. The launch of a multimodal service is the first step in the formation of regular routes with the TLT KANIKURGAN to central Russia,” noted Valeria Repkova, General Director of the Agency for the Development of Project Initiatives.
As Petr Saprykin, Deputy Head of the Trans-Baikal Railway for Territorial Administration, noted, the Russian Railways holding and the highway provide support for a new demanded offer in the transport market. The development of the terminal and warehouse complex at Blagoveshchensk station in the future will allow sending one container train per day.
