OREANDA-NEWS. July 26, 2011. National Container Company (NCC) has established rail operator company, NCC Logistics. NCC Logistics provides block trains to/from NCC terminals as well as local delivery by truck from rail station at destination to consignee’s warehouse and empty return back to port.

Since May, 2011 the service has worked in a test mode which indicated the high demand for block trains dispatched from First Container Terminal (FCT). From July, 2011 NCC Logistics operates trains from FCT to Logistika-Terminal (NCC’s dry port), Moscow and Kaluga region.

NCC Logistics clients enjoy the favorable terms for storage at FCT, Logistika-Terminal and Oktyabrskaya freight station (Moscow).

In future, after Ust-Luga Container Terminal is launched, block trains are planned also from Ust-luga.

NCC President, Alyona Ashurkova commented: “Setting up of own rail operator is a logical step of NCC’s business development which enhances efficiency and competitive advantages of NCC group as a whole. The new logistics division will integrate rail and port services and secures accuracy of container delivery to our clients”.
