With this letter we inform you about the increase in delivery times for cargo in containers by rail from the ports of the Far East.

The main terminals (VSK, VMTP), as well as the rear stations of the Far Eastern Railway, are increasingly using gondola cars to speed up the dispatch of containers from the ports of the Far East. This procedure is a necessary measure and is associated with a shortage of fitting platforms at the Far Eastern test site. Due to the transshipment of containers en route from gondola cars to fitting platforms, the transit period can be increased to 14 days.

We also inform you that the observed seasonal accumulation of import/export cargo at railway terminals. stations in Moscow, Yekaterinburg, Novosibirsk, Togliatti, etc., entails the announcement of conventions banning the shipment of goods to these stations. As well as abandonment of container trains en route for up to 7-14 days,

We hope for your understanding of the current situation with the acute shortage of platforms for sending goods by rail. For their part, the employees of Russian Transport Lines LLC are taking all measures within their power to ensure the speedy delivery of your goods.
