Delo proposes a solution to prevent sanctions from having a heavier impact on Russian foreign trade
It consists of transferring non-energy exports to Far East ports and transporting more coal and less restricted cargo to western ports
April 12, 2022
Speaking today in Moscow at the international logistics fair TransRussia 2022, Pankov noted that the transfer of the Russian foreign trade, and in particular containerized trade, towards the east is the main way to minimize the negative consequences of the restrictions imposed by the sanctions. That in particular, for non-energy exports that in 2021 contributed more than $191 billion to the economy Russian. The ports of the Far East - noted Pankov - are in practice the only Russian seaports capable of coping with additional volumes of traffic that may reach it due to the restrictions adopted by foreign maritime operators, which avoid to climb the ports of the Baltic Sea and Azov-Mar basins Black.
According to Pankov, russian ports in the Far East would be in able to handle an additional containerized traffic up to 600 thousand teu. However - specified the CEO of the Delo group - this would require additional capacity equal to 12-14 million tonnes from rail services to and from the ports of the Far East. For Pankov this could be obtained by transferring trades in coal and other cargoes less subject to sanctions against ports in the southern Russian regions and northwest. "We have to understand, but he added. - whether the port infrastructure of these regions can accept and move the required amount of coal and others Loads. According to our calculations, there can be handled a total of 18-20 million tons. Of course, longer transports will have to be carried out and more expensive. But the additional cost could be 20-40 dollars per ton of coal, which does not turn out to be given the current world prices'.
