Vostochnaya Stevedoring Company (VSC), part of the Global Ports Group, based at the port of Vostochny in Primorsky Krai, Russia, has announced the opening of a new regular container shipping service with operation cooperation of SITC.

SITC launched service from the port of Vostochny to Korea, China and Vietnam at the end of July 2022. SITC's service is added to a regular connection to the Vostochny port in Primorsky Krai via the VSC terminal. The first ship to dock at Vostochny port was the SITC Inchon with a capacity of 1,032 TEUs.

Ports in the SITC service include Busan (Korea), Tianjin, Xingang, Qingdao, Lianyungang, Ningbo, Shanghai (China), Haiphong (Vietnam), Shekou, Wenzhou (China). Shipping time for import/export goods is from 1 to 21 days depending on the destination port.

Igor Pukhov, Commercial Director of Global Ports commented: “New possibilities for cooperation with shipping lines and the expansion of the geography of services through VSC allow our clients to optimise the cost and time of cargo delivery."

"With the launch of SITC service, VSC customers have access to a wide network of rotation ports in the Asia-Pacific region. This is an important advantage for exporters and importers who have faced difficulties after the withdrawal of a number of lines from the Russian market," he added.

VSC is part of the container terminals under the Global Ports Group, the leading operator of sea container terminals in Russia. VSC operates at the port of Vostochny with an annual capacity of 700,000 TEUs.
