The Murmansk Sea Fishing Port (MMRP) plans to expand multimodal shipments of frozen seafood exports, according to its CEO Andrei Borodin. This involves frozen, pre-boiled crab being shipped from MMRP to Vladivostok in refrigerated containers and then by sea to South Korea’s Busan Port.
Borodin said that “This pilot project is important because until last year there was virtually no container handling at the fishing port and we are essentially developing this new cargo stream from scratch. Last year we handled 139 containers and this year we expect to approximately triple this cargo traffic.”
The project is being carried out with fishing company Antey Group and railway shipper Dalreftrans, who are also working on bringing other Russian fishing companies and Chinese customers into this logistics chain.
Antey Group previously announced it had started exporting live Barents Sea caught Kamchatka crabs to China. The supply chain included shipment in special trucks from Murmansk to Moscow, then by air to Shanghai and Beijing. The group later said its vessels had worked out a route along the Northern Sea Route to ship live crab from the Barents Sea to Asia.
