FESCO assets
FESCO consistently increases its core assets, which enable the Company to offer reliable logistics solutions to its customers.
Today, FESCO’s own assets comprise all essential links of its multimodal chain.
Container fleet
FESCO’s container fleet comprises general‑purpose and refrigerated containers.
In 2023, FESCO's fleet expanded by 22% to a record high of 101,751 units.
The main contributors to this growth were 40‑foot general‑purpose containers (up 41%) and refrigerated containers (up 7%) added to meet growing customer needs.
Fleet
The current capacity of FESCO’s fleet totals 614 thousand tonnes, including container vessels and universal bulk carriers, as well as icebreaker transport ships which are unique in the Russian and global markets.
In 2023, FESCO's transport fleet added five new container vessels to grow international transportation on the FBOL line, as well as three container vessels to strengthen domestic and Black Sea transportation. This increased the total deadweight by 144 thousand tonnes.
Fitting platform fleet
With fitting platforms of various footage at the core of FESCO’s rolling stock, we can diversify our services and transport all types of containers.
In 2023, our fleet expanded by 2,610 fitting platforms, or 25%, to reach 13,018 platforms by the year‑end.
Port and terminals
FESCO’s expedited logistics services rely on the Company’s own terminal network with specialised container and multi‑purpose terminals across Russia.
In 2023, Commercial Port of Vladivostok (VMTP PJSC, VMTP or Port of Vladivostok), FESCO’s key terminal, retained its leadership in container handling in Russia. VMTP benefits from convenient access to the Trans‑Siberian Railway and allows FESCO to capitalise on trade flows between Asia and Europe using the ice‑free Golden Horn Bay.
The Novosibirsk terminal and Stroyopttorg LLC in Khabarovsk are the base terminals for FESCO’s logistics chains in Novosibirsk and the Khabarovsk Territory. The terminals own railway lines, locomotives, and reachstackers.
In 2023, active construction commenced at the Novosibirsk terminal to increase its design capacity by implementing a hybrid handling technology utilising a gantry crane.
FESCO takes further steps to expand its terminal network.
- Work is ongoing to design a container terminal with a handling capacity of 450 thousand TEU in the Trans‑Baikal Territory with a view to strengthening the Company's logistics services via land border crossings.
- A project was launched to construct a new container terminal with an area of 30 ha and an annual capacity of 150 thousand TEU. The terminal will be located on the border between Russia and the northern regions of China.
- A new container terminal is planned to be built in Kazan, with an initial capacity of 70 thousand TEU per year and subsequent ramp‑up to 150 thousand TEU.
