FESCO, Russia's Far Eastern Shipping Company, anchors the cargo life of Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky, running a scheduled container line (FPKL) that links the port to its southern hub at Vladivostok. Founded in 1703, the port is the principal supply gateway for the Kamchatka Peninsula, which has no road or rail connection to the rest of Russia. It is a major base for Bering Sea fishing fleets, backed by cold stores and processing plants that feed reefer shipments. Berths of 9–12 m also handle general and bulk cargo, coal, clinker, grain, machinery and timber, while timber, scrap and obsidian move outbound. A shipyard with a medium dry dock supports vessel repairs, valuable in this remote region. Because all freight arrives by sea or air, shippers weighing alternatives typically look to Vladivostok or Korsakov on Sakhalin.
