Russia:APL has unveiled yet another new product, a Japan Russia Express (JRX) service, the only weekly Japan-Russia ocean freight service in the market.
To be jointly operated with TG FESCO, the JRX service will feature unparalleled transit times, APL said in a press release. Russia-bound cargoes from Yokohama to Vostonchny and Vladivostock will be delivered in as soon as seven and nine days respectively. Shipments from Kobe to the two same Russian ports will arrive in just four and six days respectively.
From Vostonchny and Vladivostock, cargoes onboard the JRX service may be easily moved via the Trans-Siberian Railway to Central Russia and into the European Union. Meanwhile, shippers from Japan and Russia may also plug into APL’s extensive service network for global market access via Busan where the JRX service will make a port stop.
APL’s JRX will commence sailing from Yokohama on August 24 with the following rotation: Vostochny – Vladivostok – Yokohama – Shimizu – Nagoya – Kobe – Busan- Vostochny
