St. Petersburg, October 14 (Xinhua) — The first transit container voyage from China to Europe via the Northern Sea Route (NSR) arrived at the British port of Felixstowe, the press service of the Russian corporation Rosatom reported on Tuesday.
The vessel, carrying nearly 25,000 tons of cargo containers, departed from Ningbo on September 23 and entered the NSR on October 1. It arrived in Felixstowe on October 13. The journey through the Russian Arctic took 20 days, almost half the time it would take via traditional southern routes. According to Rosatom, the shorter distance allows for not only significantly shorter travel times and cargo transportation costs, but also a reduction in greenhouse gas emissions.
On Tuesday, an action plan for the further development of NSR transport between China and Russia was approved in Harbin, China. The parties are working to establish a sustainable transport corridor.
