Russia’s trade with the west is continuing to grow in spite of the imposition of sanctions, with containerised imports to Russian ports on the Baltic Sea exceeding export volumes for the first time in five years.
According to statistics from the Association of Commercial Seaports of Russia, from January to March Baltic ports' container throughput rose to 577,600 TEU, representing a year-on-year increase of 7.8 per cent. Imports contributed 296,400 TEU to the total. The port of St Petersburg handled 503,800 TEU in the first quarter, reported IHS Media.
As for rail freight volumes, currently EU-Russia trade remains insignificant mainly due to differing railway gauges between Europe and the Commonwealth of the Independent States, as well as the non-competitiveness of rail transport over short distances.
However, a significant portion of EU-Russia container cargo is transported to Russia by vehicles. Most of the EU cargo transported by vehicles to Moscow and the central European part of Russia travels through Belarus. Cargo intended for southern Russia travels through Ukraine, although the volume of deliveries on the latter route has significantly declined in recent years.
Delivery time on these routes takes between five and eight days, and costs US$2,500 to $2,740 per TEU.
