The III Seafood Expo, which is to be held 10–12 July in tandem with the Global Fishery Forum & Seafood Expo in St. Petersburg, will widely present the logistics segment. To date, three times more participants have already registered than last year.
Seven foreign and domestic enterprises involved in the refrigerated transportation of fish and seafood will serve as the basis of the exhibition and include the Belgian carrier GreenSea and the Dutch Sealine along with Russian DalRefTrans, VladRefTrans, Aurora Logistics, Kamchatka Lines, and Seroglazka Terminal.
Sealine has 40 years of experience in shipping and refrigerated transport operations. It provides a full range of services associated with the operation and management of refrigerated fleet and will be participating in the St. Petersburg exhibition for the second time.
The Belgian company GreenSea has been operating in the logistics market since 2012, though it controls one of the largest fleets comprising about 50 ships. It provides a wide range of transport solutions, from shipping small shiploads to fully loaded vessels.
VladRefTrans, a Far Eastern company, transports heavily guarded cargoes in refrigerated and thermos containers by sea and rail across Russia, covering such island regions as Sakhalin, Kamchatka, Magadan, and Anadyr. The company has its own specialized train, owns a large fleet of refrigerated and thermos containers, and actively employs the rolling stock and containers of other owners during shipping.
DalRefTrans is the only player on the refrigerated transport market employing only its own assets. The company is a member of the FESCO transport group and is responsible for transporting perishable goods.
Aurora Logistics, a Russian forwarding company also participating in the St. Petersburg exhibition for the second time, provides multimodal services, transporting perishable goods in refrigerated containers. Last year, the company demonstrated an innovative development: an energy container equipped with diesel power generators designed to enable electric power supply to refrigerators. The equipment enables continuous operation for distances exceeding 10,000 km while the management of aggregate and control efficiency is carried out by mobile application.
The logistical exposition continues to fill up. To date, the reserved area already exceeds that of last year’s opening day by 10%. It is expected that the final increase in space occupied will exceed last year’s by at least 40%.
