Mohill's CEO reveals plans to enhance shipping routes from Turkey to St. Petersburg, capitalizing on competitive freight rates.
Mohill Executive Director Aleksandr Nazimok outlined the company's transportation plans at the ZaKonteynerami conference held in St. Petersburg on November 12. According to a news report by PortNews dated November 14, the executive stated that shipments from Turkey to St. Petersburg have become more attractive in terms of freight rates compared to direct shipments from China.
According to Nazimok's statement, the company aims to utilize part of the capacity in its services coming from China, which also call at Turkey and Egypt, for Middle Eastern cargoes, and then continue to St. Petersburg by taking additional containers from Turkey. This statement reflects the company's commercial plan; it does not include an announcement of a new sailing schedule.
InfraNews, which attended the same conference, reported that Mohill plans to add another vessel to its line connecting St. Petersburg to Turkish and Egyptian ports. The goal is to increase the frequency of calls to once a week. The report noted that the company operates with six vessels, managing a total capacity of over 7,900 TEU.
Nazimok also assessed that freight rates from Turkey may decrease in the future. The statements made by the company executive indicate that the aim to leverage the current price advantage is being considered alongside plans to offer more regular sailings.
