NCC expands into logistics

Russia’s National Container Company (NCC) has established a rail and truck operator, NCC Logistics.

The new entity will provide block trains to and from NCC terminals as well as offer local delivery by truck from rail stations to a consignee’s warehouse plus an empty return back to port.

The service has worked in a test mode between the First Container Terminal (FCT) and Moscow since May, and following a good level of demand, has expanded to run to NCC’s Logistika-Terminal dry port and the terminal at Obninsk (Kaluga region) on a regular basis. There are also plans to run the service from the Ust-Luga Container Terminal when it is launched.
