FESCO assets
FESCO consistently increases its core assets, which enable the Company to offer reliable logistics solutions to its customers.
Today, FESCO’s assets comprise all essential links of its multimodal chain:

In 2024, FESCO’s fleet expanded by 17% to a record high of 118,990 units.
The main contributors to this growth, which responded to increased transportation volumes and customer needs, were 20‑foot (up 25%) and 40‑foot (up 15%) general‑purpose containers.

Fleet
The total deadweight and container capacity of FESCO’s fleet totals 693 thousand tonnes and 51 thousand TEU, respectively, including container vessels and universal bulk carriers, as well as an icebreaker transport ship which is unique in the Russian and global markets.

In 2024, FESCO enhanced its transport fleet with two additional container vessels to support transportation volumes across the Group’s domestic and international routes. Concurrently, we went on with our fleet renewal programme by divesting six vessels exceeding 25 years in service. This strategic fleet modernisation reduced the average age of FESCO’s transport fleet by 10%, bringing it to 15.5 years. To further strengthen our offering and establish new services, we secured supplementary vessels through time‑charter arrangements. These acquisitions increased the total deadweight of our fleet in operation by 79 thousand tonnes and expanded our capacity by 2 thousand TEU.

Fitting platform fleet
With fitting platforms of various footage at the core of FESCO’s rolling stock, we can diversify our services and transport all types of containers.
Platform type | 2021 | 2022 | 2023 | 2024 | YoY change, % 2024/2023 |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
40‑foot platforms | 995 | 944 | 1,051 | 1,005 | (4) |
60‑foot platforms | 1,236 | 1,065 | 1,060 | 1,060 | 0 |
80‑foot platforms | 6,523 | 8,399 | 10,907 | 12,779 | 17 |
Total | 8,754 | 10,408 | 13,018 | 14,844 | 14 |
In 2024, our fleet expanded by 1,826 fitting platforms, or 14%, to reach 14,844 platforms by the year‑end.
The main increase came from 80‑foot platforms, which increased by 1,872 units, or 17%, in 2024.
Port and terminals
FESCO’s expedited logistics services rely on the Company’s own terminal network with specialised container and multi‑purpose terminals across Russia.

The Novosibirsk terminal and Stroyopttorg LLC in Khabarovsk are the base terminals for FESCO’s logistics chains in Novosibirsk and the Khabarovsk Territory. The terminals own railway lines, locomotives, and reachstackers.

In 2024, Commercial Port of Vladivostok (VMTP PJSC, VMTP or Port of Vladivostok), FESCO’s key terminal, retained its leadership in container handling in Russia. VMTP benefits from convenient access to the Trans‑Siberian Railway and allows FESCO to capitalise on trade flows between Asia and Europe using the ice‑free Golden Horn Bay.
In 2024, the Novosibirsk terminal revised its Development Programme to introduce a hybrid handling technology utilising a gantry crane to include the development of infrastructure at the Yuzhnaya and Novosibirsk‑Vostochny railway stations with a commercial railcar inspection system.
FESCO takes further steps to expand its terminal network:
- work is ongoing to construct a container terminal with a throughput capacity of 450 thousand TEU in the Trans‑Baikal Territory with a view to strengthening the Company’s logistics services via land border crossings;
- for the container terminal in Kazan, we are securing inputs for infrastructure connectivity and finalising land rights acquisition to build a terminal with an annual thoughput capacity of 70 thousand TEU
