The FESCO Volga Shuttle will depart once every 10 days from Commercial Port Vladivostok and arrive at railway station Ulyanovsk-3. Transit time will take around 11 days.
The launch of this container train aims to improve the quality of customer service from the transportation group in the Volga region and provides the possibility to deliver goods “to door” to such as cities as Saransk, Tolyatti, Samara, Cheboksary, Kazan, Penza and Naberezhnye Chelny.
The first shuttle loaded with 60 forty-foot containers arrived in Ulyanovsk on 22 January 2022.
