FESCO increases sea container transportation between Vladivostok, Chinese ports 38% in Q1

MOSCOW. April 28 (Interfax) - FESCO Transportation Group, which is under Rosatom state corporation's control, transported over 74,000 twenty-foot equivalent units (TEU) via its FESCO China Direct Line (FCDL) sea service between Chinese ports and Vladivostok in January-March 2026, up 38% compared to the same period last year, the group said.

The growth was driven primarily by import shipments, which exceeded 58,000 TEU amid the reorientation of cargo flows from China in favor of Far Eastern ports. In the export direction, FCDL service shipments amounted to approximately 16,000 TEU.

The FCDL sea service is operated by FESCO's own fleet and includes three regular container lines connecting Vladivostok Commercial Sea Port (part of FESCO) with key ports in China, including Shanghai, Ningbo, Xingang, Dalian, Rizhao, Lianyungang, Yantian, Nansha and others.

The service capacity is 5,000 TEU per week. In the future, FESCO plans to increase carrying capacity on the route between Chinese ports and Vladivostok.

FESCO Transportation Group owns assets in the port, railway and integrated logistics business. FESCO owns PJSC Commercial Port of Vladivostok, the FESCO Integrated Transport intermodal operator, the Dalreftrans refrigerated container operator, as well as the Transgarant and FESCO Trans companies.

The group manages terminal complexes in Novosibirsk, Khabarovsk, Tomsk, Vladivostok and Kaliningrad. The company manages a container fleet of over 200,000 TEU and nearly 15,000 flat cars. The group's fleet includes more than 30 vessels, which operate primarily on the company's own shipping lines. In November 2023, a controlling stake in PJSC Far Eastern Shipping Company (FESCO, the group's parent company) amounting to 92.5% was transferred to Rosatom by a decree of the Russian president.
