FCS: tested mechanism for tracking of transit cargo transported from Europe to Asia via the sea ports of the Russian Federation

Mechanism for tracking multimodal transportation from North Europe to Asia through the territory of Russia tested the FCS of Russia jointly with Maersk, JSC “RZD” and LLC “Center for development of digital platforms” with the support of the Ministry of transport. For the first time the movement of the container through Russia a new route, including the territory of sea ports, controlled online.

5 may 2020 a 40-foot container Maersk industrial products arrived in the port of “East”. In Russia it was imported from Finland 20 April 2020 through the “Big port of St.-Petersburg”. The container was imposed electronic navigational fillings. Next on the train platform of the cargo proceeded to the port of “East”, where after the removal of the seals went to South Korea. The path of the container through the territory of Russia took 16 days.

The experiment was tested mechanisms for the collection, processing and transmission of information about the movement of the container activation and deactivation of the seal, and responding to emergencies. Route information and status of electronic seals was available online to all participants of the transportation process.

“In the experiment, we controlled the movement of cargo on the whole route throughout Russia. Contingencies were recorded”, – said the first Deputy head of the FCS of Russia Ruslan Davydov. “Further applications of the system for tracking the movement of goods in multimodal routes will expand the transit potential of Russia, to increase the speed and security of supply”.

HELP:

FCS in conjunction with the Maersk project operational clearance of international transit transport in block trains on the route “port of Saint-Petersburg – TRANS – Siberian railway- the port of Vostochny (Primorsky Krai)”. This corridor connects the ports of Northern Europe with the ports of South Korea and Japan and is included in the global linear schedule Maersk code АЕ19. Its opening has allowed to reduce time of cargo delivery between Europe and Asia by more than 2 times: from 42 to 45 days to 16-20 days.
