OREANDA-NEWS There is still a shortage of ship calls in Russian seaports, Vitaly Evdokimenko, president of Transcontainer, told RBC in an interview.
"Now market participants are concerned and are seriously engaged in the formation of marine services for coming to the Northwest," the top manager said.
According to him, earlier in this region there was a difficult situation with ship calls, but it is beginning to be resolved. "This is important considering what is happening in the direction of the Far East: it is already difficult to get there to take out all the necessary volumes of goods and cargo," Evdokimenko explained. At the same time, in the Far East, "in general, it was possible to saturate the market with ships." There is no such shortage in the Azov-Black Sea basin as in the North-West, but local problems periodically arise, he claims.
Transcontainer is the largest container railway operator in Russia and the CIS, which belongs to the Delo transport and logistics group (51% — Sergey Shishkarev, 49% - Rosatom). The company owns 40 railway terminals in Russia, as well as 58.67% of the shares of the Sakhalin Shipping Company (SASCO), whose fleet consists of 13 vessels. According to Rosstat, in 2022, transportation by Russian sea transport reached 28.2 million tons — 20.3% more than a year earlier.
According to Yevdokimenko, the shortage of shipping freight, including in the Far East, arose when global container lines (for example, Maersk, CMA CGM and Hapag-Lloyd) left amid international sanctions due to a special military operation in Ukraine. According to Strategy Partners, previously from 80 to 90% of the total volume of containers was fully or partially transported using the fleet of companies that refused to work with Russia.
"As a result, in the spring of last year, the rates for the transportation of containers went up the hill. For example, the Transcontainer's through rate on importing a 40-foot container to Moscow from Shanghai via the Vostochny port, including auto pickup, jumped to 1.35 million rubles (including VAT) in March 2022 from 0.86 million rubles in February," Evdokimenko recalls. But the market is adapting to everything, it has "slowly sated itself," primarily in the Far East, the head of Transcontainer adds. "Now the rates have stabilized, having decreased by about half compared to last year's spring peak," he said.
