Russian importers are facing new challenges due to Vladivostok
Russian importers have begun to face serious problems when shipping goods through Vladivostok. Following the reduction in Black Sea shipments, a significant portion of the cargo flow shifted to Far Eastern ports, overburdening their infrastructure.
In July, delays in ship departures and the rescheduling of shipments to later voyages already amounted to 4–10 days. In August, space on ships from China became scarce, and the wait for departure can last up to two weeks.
It also takes up to two weeks to transfer containers from ships to rail transport in Vladivostok. As a result, delivery times for cargo from China to Moscow or St. Petersburg could increase from approximately 45 to 60 days.
This is reported by Russian propaganda media.
