"Asia-Pacific as a whole is vital for the Volga-Dnepr Group with three of the world's top five economies located in the region. We see fundamental changes in the region, with the constantly growing importance and influence of Asian economies, as well as increasing intra-Asian trade and fast-growing consumer demand," said Volga-Dnepr Group's vice president for Japan and South Korea, Anton Khodakovsky.
Over the last eight months, ABC's tonnage from Japan and Korea has grown by 40 percent, with a total of 6,810 tonnes of cargo being transported out of the two countries.
