With the inception of the rail facility, ULCT has the capability to dispatch up to 30 per cent of container traffic by railroad. In addition, customers can benefit from the rail access and competitive rates available at the facility.
ULCT's railway infrastructure includes four rail tracks of 525 metres each (25 railcars) under 2 RMG.
NCC Logistics, the rail operator of NCC group, now offers shuttle train services between ULCT, Luzhskaya station, and Moscow; and between ULCT, Luzhskaya station, and Logistika-Terminal, St Petersburg.
The first phase of ULCT was completed last month and has an annual capacity of 440,000 TEU. It will have a maximum capacity of 2.85 million TEU when the entire project is completed in 2025. NCC and Eurogate, Europe's leading container terminal and logistics group, manage ULCT.
