RZD Holding and Russian Export Centre (REC) have dispatched the first export container shipment of non-primary products from Vorsino (Kaluga region, Russia) to China. This first consignment was carried out as part of REC’s project to support non-primary export-oriented companies in transporting their freight to China. Containers with food and equipment will travel via the border crossing at Zabaikalsk to the port of Dalian and Shilong Railway Station in China’s Guangdong Province. The minimum travel time is 14 days.
RZD Logistics, a subsidiary of RZD, was the service’s logistic operator, while the rolling stock and containers were provided by TransContainer, technological support by RZD and customer support by Russian Export LLC. The cost of delivery of a universal forty-foot container to Dalian is USD 2,600 and to Shilong is USD 3,200.
The companies plan to make this a regular service in the future, but the exact timetable of shipments will depend on the volumes of non-primary freight traffic for export.
