Logistika-Terminal (Shushary, St.Petersburg)

Logistic complex in Shushary is an essential element of NCC’s terminal network in north-west Russia. The complex infrastructure includes container terminal, empty container depot, container freight station (CFS), vast warehousing and distribution facilities, convenient motor/railroad approach.

Off-dock container terminal in Shushary was officially included in the region of Baltic customs activity as of December 2008. Thus, for the first time in history of container transport in Russia sea and off-dock terminal (First Container Terminal and Logistika-Terminal) fall under authority of the same customs office. This provides a unique possibility to transport containers from FCT to the off dock facility in Shushary in bond under the simplified scheme of internal customs transit. Such scheme does not require presentation of any additional commercial documents by either shipping line or consignee apart from those readily available at the time of vessel’s arrival at FCT, i.e., freight manifest and bill of lading.

This new off-dock terminal allows for First Container Terminal capacity expansion since part of container traffic initially received at FCT will be on-carried by rail and truck to Shushary upon discharge for subsequent storage.
