Arkas is providing agency services in Russia for Pacific International Lines (PIL) with a new company it has founded called PIL Novorossiysk.
Arkas has taken on agency services for PIL, which has started service to the Far East from Novorossiysk, a major port on the Black Sea. In order to carry out these activities, Arkas has started a new company called PIL Novorossiysk. The first vessel, named Kota Pusaka, started regular weekly service from Novorossiysk to the Far East by calling at Novorossiysk in May. This route will provide a valuable service to Russian customers who export and import goods between Russia and the Far East. Products exported from Novorossiysk to the Far East include paper, rubber, grain, chemicals and metal products, while imports include household goods, plastic products, toys, textiles and shoes. After beginning service in January, PIL Novorossiysk has a goal of shipping 20 percent of the export and import goods transported between Russia and the Far East by the end of the year. Arkas Russia, which has been operating in Novorossiysk since 2007, provides agency services for Arkas line, Tarros and Hapag-Lloyd. The company accepts import shipments that arrive at Novorossiysk Port and delivers them to Russia and all nations in Commonwealth of Independent States via rail and highway connections. After the goods are offloaded at the port, logistics services are provided by Arlogic Russia, which was founded in 2010..
