MINSK, 30 October (BelTA) – A new multimodal route has been launched in Belarus for the sake of shipping cargoes to Kaliningrad Oblast, Russian Federation, BelTA learned from representatives of RUP Beltamozhservice.
The route goes via St. Petersburg and provides for booking a ferry in advance without waiting. The expected delivery time is 10 calendar days. Transportation by road and by rail is used in various sections of the route.
Goods and products intended for Kaliningrad Oblast can be shipped by road to warehouses in Minsk, Gomel, Brest, and Grodno where they will be transshipped to covered train cars and sent by rail and by ferry.
The route will allow reducing the dependence of logistic companies and carriers on challenges, including those relating to queues at the border and the closure of border crossings. The route will allow consolidating cargo shipping. A portfolio of orders from Belarusian companies is being consolidated now.
The most popular directions for shipping Belarusian cargoes with RUP Beltamozhservice’s assistance are Russia and China. Additional technical and logistic solutions are being worked out to deliver goods to faraway countries. Ports of the Russian Federation are actively used as part of multimodal logistics. Possibilities offered by the Northern Sea Route are being explored.
RUP Beltamozhservice has been chosen to consolidate applications for shipping exports by rail to sea ports, sea ferries, port terminals, and railway stations in the capacity of a cargo shipper for the sake of shipping cargoes to countries of Africa, Latin America, Southeast Asia, and the Middle East.
