The first container block train from Finland bound for the Indian port of Nava Sheva has departed from Helsinki. The block train service via the international north-south transport corridor is operated by a JV of Russian Railways Logistics (RZDL), ADY Container and Tarkib Haml-o-Naghl.
The train passing through Russia, Azerbaijan and Iran consists of 32 containers, loaded with paper-based products. The movement of freight trains within this corridor may become regular, Ady Container said. The containers will be conveyed to the port of Nava Sheva by multimodal transport – rail, road and ship.
The container block train on this corridor will significantly shorten transit times compared to maritime transport. Overall, the block train will travel 7,200 km. (ben)
