The Fesco transport group has reduced the average delivery time for containers from the port of Chattogram (Bangladesh) to Vladivostok, as well as in the opposite direction, by more than 30% - to 19 days. This was reported by the press service of the transport group.

This was achieved by optimizing the end-to-end route and changing the transshipment port. Now cargo within the Fesco foreign trade service is transshipped from one vessel to another not in Shanghai (China), as was previously the case, but in the port of Ho Chi Minh City (Vietnam), where the Group has organized a logistics hub for consolidating containers from other countries in Southeast Asia, it is said in the message.

Between Ho Chi Minh City and Vladivostok, cargo is delivered by the regular Fesco Vietnam Direct Line (FVDL), which is operated by the Group's three container ships, ensuring capacity availability and regular dispatches once a week. From Chattogram port the service also operates weekly.

Using the new route, the first containers from Chattogram arrived in Vladivostok on March 6.

Fesco transports mainly consumer goods and light industry goods (clothing, fabrics) from Bangladesh, and wood products and chemical cargo from Russia.

In addition to Vladivostok, Fesco sends cargo from Bangladesh to Novorossiysk and St. Petersburg with transshipment in the Indian port of Mundra. There, containers are reloaded into the Group’s vessels and travel to Russian ports on the regular Fesco Indian Line West and Fesco Baltorient Line, respectively.
