Vladimir Putin sent greetings to the FESCO Transportation Group team on the company’s 145th anniversary.
The message reads, in part:
“The history of the company dates back to 1880, when the steamship Moskva arrived in Vladivostok. Over the years, several generations of the Far Eastern Shipping Company workers have made a truly unique contribution to the development of the country, the development of Siberia, Russia’s Far East, and the Arctic. They laid new routes, delivered food and industrial goods to hard-to-reach areas, and transported materials for the Trans-Siberian Railway and other industrial and national-scale infrastructure construction projects.
We will undoubtedly always remember our transport workers’ courage and resilience during the Great Patriotic War. In harsh conditions, they delivered goods, including those supplied to the USSR under the Lend-Lease programme and participated in the legendary northern convoys. Many of them did not return to their home port.
Today, FESCO Group is one of the largest transport and logistics companies in Russia and the world, providing transportation by sea, rail and road. The company employs qualified professionals who are sincerely devoted to their profession. You maintain high standards of service quality, ensure reliable connectivity across Russian regions, and make a valuable contribution to strengthening Russia’s economic sovereignty and its standing in global markets.”
