Russian logistics giant Fesco is planning to build a container terminal in Zabaykalsk, near the Russian borders with China and Mongolia. Russian Deputy Prime Minister Yuri Trutnev “instructed Russian Railways (RZD) to speed up the transfer of the necessary documentation to begin construction of the terminal as soon as possible”, Fesco posted on Telegram.

Fesco’s Vice President Boris Ivanov said that the facility will cost around 41,5 million euros (four billion rubles) and will be able to handle 1.5 million tons of cargo every year. Other than the terminal itself, the new complex will have a storage warehouse and a new rail connection. The terminal will be located at the Zabaykalsk-Manzhouli rail border crossings, one of the main Russia-China rail connections.
