Fesco expands service out of port of Everett

The port of Everett’s major shipping line, FESCO Transportation Group, which has made the Port of Everett its Pacific Northwest shipping hub for Russian cargoes, will be expanding its export service to include ro-ro ships, according to the port authority.

Currently, the port supports FESCO in the transportation, forestry, oil, gas and gold mining industries, Marine Terminals director Dave Madill said. These shipments include mining machinery, oil extracting equipment, trucks, heavy equipment and food products. The majority of this cargo had been lifted on and off the ships by crane.

“Adding ro-ro capabilities to the port’s portfolio, coupled with our new rail line, will allow us to focus on cargo segments we have not been able to target in the past.”

The first FESCO ro-ro ship is expected to arrive in Port on May 26, and is destined for Vladivostok – Russia’s largest port city on the Pacific Ocean.
