More trains for Trans-Sib


Russian Railways (RZD) is increasing the number of transit container trains on the Trans-Siberian Railway, on the Maersk AE19 transcontinental service. The service connects the Russian ports of St. Petersburg and Vostochny by rail.

 

Container trains towards the East will now be dispatched weekly, while in the opposite direction their frequency will increase to four times a week from 24 April. Transit time across Russia is twelve days, while total transit time between Asian and European ports around the Baltic Sea is 25-30 days.

 

Maersk’s AE19 service is a combination of a short-sea and intercontinental rail service between European ports in Finland, Poland, Germany, Scandinavia and Asian ports in Korea, China, Japan. (ben)
