This was told to journalists in the transport and logistics company Novelco. Another five companies confirmed problems.

It is reported that the delivery time of goods from China togrew by an average of 20-30% year on year. Delivery from the port of Shanghai via Vladivostok to Moscow now takes 45 days for an expensive carrier and 50-60 days for a budget one. Delivery by road from the central part of China to Moscow takes 31-35 days, but if the cargo is groupage, then the period increases by another 10 days

The reasons for this: the lack of railway platforms and the cancellation of shipments due to the "deterioration of the epidemiological situation."
