BNS - An Estonian logistics delegation visiting China in the last week of March achieved in meetings with Chinese freight forwarders agreements under which large flows of goods will start moving through this country, Enterprise Estonia (EAS) said.
According to CEO of Transiidikeskuse AS Erik Laidvee, "a breakthrough was made as a result of which thousands of Chinese containers will start passing through the Muuga container terminal already in the next few months."
Representative of EAS in Shanghai Valle Feldmann said the Estonian side was very well prepared and offered a compact integrated solution which has not been designed on such a scale before. "The Chinese side took a surprisingly big interest compared with earlier visits by business groups."
Among the companies offering a transit chain from China straight to Moscow were Eesti Raudtee (Estonian Railway), Transiidikeskuse AS, the port of Sillamae, the Estonian Logistics and Freight Forwarding Association representing the Moscow Customs Terminal, and several forwarding enterprises.
"We were selling a unique transit chain that allows to ship goods from China through the port of Muuga to the discharge in Moscow, including concrete tariffs and deadlines," Laidvee explained.
