Maersk introduced another intermodal service across the Trans-Siberian route connecting the Russian Far East with the Black Sea. Specifically, the new service called AE77 links the VSC Terminal in Vostochny with the NUTEP Terminal at Novorossiysk travelling on Russian infrastructure. It will operate weekly with an average transit time between 25 and 30 days — moreover, the first AE77 train is already on its way to Novorossiysk since 22 April.
