A new FESCO fortnightly service from Tacoma to Vladivostok

The new service will depart the Port of Tacoma with a transit time of 14 days to Vladivostok and will include breakbulk, roll on/roll off, and project cargoes.

“We are introducing this improved service to meet our customers’ growing needs to the Russian Far East with more frequent sailings and faster service,” said Mike Evans, FESCO’s North American president. “We are the only provider offering breakbulk and roll on/roll off service out of the Port of Tacoma and the Port of Everett with a direct call in Vladivostok, which is Russia’s largest port city on the Pacific Ocean.”

The Tacoma service offers roll on/roll off ramps which can handle up to 120 tonnes to accommodate FESCO’s diverse customer base including automobiles, trucks and trailers, and heavy industrial machinery, to name a few. The top exports from the Pacific Northwest to the Russian Far East are vehicles and parts, mining machinery, and agricultural equipment, as well as oil and gas project cargoes.
