Kuehne + Nagel opens office in Vladivostok

In view of the increasing demand for logistics services in the Far Eastern part of Russia, Kuehne + Nagel is establishing an office in Vladivostok.

Vladivostok is the largest Far Eastern sea port in Russia and a strategically important location for the handling of inbound and transit cargo. Additionally, the well developed transport infrastructure - seafreight, airfreight and railfreight - allows serving local customers as well.

The office in Vladivostok will be managed by the set-up in Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk where Kuehne + Nagel commenced its activities in 2002 to cater for the needs of customers from the oil & gas industry.

Next to the office in Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk, the company operates two more locations on Sakhalin, one in Nogliki in the northern part of the island, and a bonded/non-bonded warehouse in Korsakov south of Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk.

Today, the company is a leading provider of specialized tailor-made solutions for the oil & gas industry in the area.

Our new office in Vladivostok provides the opportunity to strengthen and streamline the operational processes and to offer new services such as a direct access to the Russian market from the Far East rather than via Europe,?said Perry Neumann, Managing Director Kuehne + Nagel Russia and Belarus. < 최성훈 기자 shchoi@ksg.co.kr >
