New outlines of Russian container system development

The issue of expanding container transportation logistics geography in Russia has been considered. During the analysis of organizing sea lines experience in the Soviet Union, it has been determined that the Soviet merchant fleet ensured both the country’s transport sovereignty and the transport services export within the framework of servicing the trade of third countries. Currently, the country’s transport complex adaptation to the new conditions of foreign economic activity and new linear container services launch have led to establishing sustainable logistics in communication with key partners, including China, Turkey, India, etc. Container services establishment in communication with the East Africa and Latin America countries will contribute to the export flows diversification and growth of trade turnover with “friendly” countries. Redirecting cargo flows to the North–South international transport corridor and the Northern Sea Route will ensure uniform loading of the transport infrastructure and create competition among different configurations of container services. The high potential of cooperation with the business of the BRICS countries has been noted: in the port logistics segment, in shipping during new container services launch, and in shipbuilding to ensure mutual trade in the necessary tonnage.
