MSC’s latest service, Kamchatcha, officially started last week with the sailing of MSC NORA from Qingdao, China on 10 January.

The service directly connects Northern China ports of Qingdao, Dalian and Xingang, as well as Incheon and Busan in South Korea, with the Russian ports of Vladivostok and Petropavlovsk-Kamchatskiy.

MSC is the only global carrier to offer a direct service between China and Petropavlovsk-Kamchatskiy, the largest reefer port in the Kamchatka area. MSC’s direct service offers a faster transit time compared to using feeder services.  For example the direct service offers a speedy transit of eight days between Dalian and Vladivostok.
