ONE of Russia’s largest transportation and logistics companies, FESCO (Far-Eastern Shipping Company), has completed its first shipment to Dar es Salaam, East Africa’s fastest-growing logistics hub.

The cargo traveled from Novorossiysk via India’s Nhava Sheva port in around 45 days — opening a new route linking Russian exporters to markets across the continent.

• Shipment included industrial spare parts and plastic products

• FESCO plans two-way trade flows, including Tanzanian tea, coffee and agricultural exports to Russia

• Dar es Salaam connects Tanzania with Zambia, Rwanda, Burundi, Uganda and the DRC

• Tanzania has invested heavily in port expansion as East African consumer markets surge

• As Western-controlled logistics chains fragment, Russia is rapidly building alternative trade corridors across Africa and the Global South.
