Russia’s Yuzhny Port terminal in Moscow has received a train with consumer goods from China for the first time, according to Russian Railways Logistics. The cargo was destined for the Southern Port Terminal, which has launched a regular import container service, with trains being prepared at China’s main Hefei city railway station and transiting through Kazakhstan. Hefei is the capital city of China’s inland Anhui Province, to the west of Shanghai. It is known for its agricultural produce.
The train departed from Hefei Station (eastern China), transited through Kazakhstan, and arrived at the Yuzhny Port terminal 20 days later.
The new route is part of a program to expand international transport corridors and optimize supply chains between Asia and European Russia, providing additional business opportunities for both countries.
“The launch of the new import service through the Yuzhny Port TLC is an important step in the development of trans-Eurasian logistics. The terminal’s location within the city limits makes it one of the key links in the delivery chain, ensuring both efficiency and cost-effectiveness for customers,” said Sergey Levin, Deputy General Director and Director of the Multimodal Transport Department at Russian Railways Logistics.
The first train under this service arrived in Moscow on July 1. The service is planned to be a regular trip and is expected to run 2-4 journeys to Moscow from Hefei every month.
The Yuzhny Port Transport and Logistics Center (part of Russian Railways) is located in the southeast of the capital in the Pechatniki district. The convenient location of the port within the city limits ensures fast delivery of goods and cost-effectiveness for customers.
