FESCO raises container shipping between Vladivostok and China by 31% in nine months of 2026
In January–September 2026, the FESCO China Direct Line service carried 259,000 TEU between Chinese ports and Vladivostok, up 31% from the same period a year earlier.
FESCO Group, part of Rosatom’s management perimeter, said its regular FESCO China Direct Line (FCDL) sea service carried 259,000 TEU between Chinese ports and Vladivostok in January–September 2026. The volume was 31% higher than in the same period a year earlier.
Imports were the main growth driver, rising 72% over the nine months. Automotive cargo, primarily vehicle kits, continued to account for a large share of container flows from China; shipments of household appliances and furniture to Russia also showed positive dynamics.
FCDL includes four regular container lines linking the Vladivostok Sea Commercial Port (VMTP, part of FESCO) with key Chinese ports, including northern, central and southern ones. In November, FESCO plans to increase the service’s total carrying capacity to more than 7,000 TEU per week.
The company said it adapted FCDL operations to higher demand and a difficult operating environment, including a series of typhoons and congestion at several Chinese ports.
