In addition, Yusen will handle storage of non-bonded containers at the container yard, the movement of GM UZ containers arriving by rail at the Moscow PDC and the carriage of Korean rail freight to the Yekaterinburg PDC, reported the American Journal of Transportation.

This contract builds on the NYK's logistics unit previous experience working with GM that commenced in 2011 with warehousing operations at St Petersburg for General Motors Auto.

In 2013 the operations were expanded to include ex-works transportation services from Thailand to Moscow via St Petersburg for General Motors CIS.
