The UK Government commissioned research identifying potential export prospects in the Russian ports sector. Like other countries Russia has been through a period of growth followed by downturn. However cargo volumes held up well at the ports with exports of commodities strong. Container trade is now expected to re-start its strong growth.

Beckett Rankine researched current and future prospects for port development in Russia. An initial desk study was followed by visits to Moscow, St Petersburg and Novorossiysk to meet with port authorities and port developers. The final report can be seen on our Rankine website.
