Container logistics in Russia and neighbouring countries: Summing up year 2007

This January the research and consulting agency InfraNews will complete its analysis of the container transport market in Russia and neighbouring countries in the year 2007. As the agency’s report “Container logistics in Russia and neighbouring states: Results of 2007” will show, the yearly turnover of container traffic at Russian terminals has grown from 2.403 million TEU to 3.1 million TEU, or by 29 percent.

Counting in all the volumes transported into Russia – with both containers arriving from the former Soviet republics of the Baltic and inland railway transports in ISO containers taken into consideration – the container turnover of the Russian market is now approaching 5 million TEU. As of end 2007, Russian container cargo turnover was at least 4.8 million TEU.

The development of the Russian market in 2007 could well be called dramatic. This is especially true of the container logistics market inside Russia.

InfraNews’ analysis will demonstrate an impressive growth in transit transports from Finland and former USSR republics on the Baltic Sea. As one example, the turnover of containers that passed the Russian-Finnish border in 2007 will have exceeded 400,000 TEU, all terminals in Finland taken into account. Container flow through the Baltic states will have grown as well, to the same mark of 400,000 TEU.

InfraNews’ report will also be the first to describe in detail the specifics and yearly results of the operation of Russian inland container terminals and will also focus on the areas where Russian container business has been showing a particularly noteworthy growth. Indeed, Russia already has much to present and to research besides its port terminals and in its capital city, Moscow.
