Forwarding

What Forwarding does

Русмарин–Форвардинг (Rusmarine-Forwarding) is a privately held Russian terminal operator and freight forwarder founded in 1991, headquartered at Doroga na Turukhtannye Ostrova 24/6 within the Port of St. Petersburg (legal entity ООО «Русмарин–Форвардинг», INN 7826684974, OGRN 1027810358432). The company operates a 5,000+ sq m terminal and warehouse complex with its own railway branch line connected to the Avtovo / Avtovo Export station, equipped with gantry cranes, rail-mounted cranes, pneumatic cranes, reach stackers, specialized forklifts, auto-container carriers, and a 30-ton-capacity loading cart with 12-meter forks for oversized cargo handling up to 45 tons. The facility is Maritime Register–accredited for VGM certification (Methods No. 1 and No. 2), licensed for dangerous goods, and operates as a Permanent Storage Facility (ПСО) for customs-controlled cargo.

The business runs three core service lines — Terminal Services, Multimodal Transportation (sea, rail, road, air), and Foreign Economic Activity (ВЭД) Procurement — plus eleven discrete sub-services covering import/export storage, weighing, shuffling/repacking, liquid-cargo transfilling, cargo/tare processing, oversized-cargo handling, document processing, palletizing, and consolidated cargo assembly. Revenue is generated on a transaction-fee basis across all streams; pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. GTM is sales-led with dedicated contact persons per service line (Alexander Koscheev for terminal services, Alexander Rudnitsky for multimodal transport, Anatoly Petrankov for ВЭД procurement) using phone, email, Telegram, WhatsApp, and WeChat, supplemented by a multilingual (Russian, English, Chinese) website and a Solvo-powered online cargo tracking portal at solvo.forwarding.ru. The customer base is enterprise-tilted and spans agriculture, logistics, fisheries/seafood export, and other import/export verticals.

Documented customers include ООО АГРО (agriculture), ООО Логистическая компания «Семь» (logistics), and ООО СевЗапРыб (fisheries/seafood export). Strategic partnerships are limited in number but operationally significant: ТБЦ-Транзит (TBT-Transit) provides railway dispatch coordination, and ЦНИИМФ (Central Scientific Research Institute of Merchant Shipping) certifies cargo securing schemes. The company is part of a Group of Transport Companies with over 20 years of combined operational history, operates under a 'one-stop-shop' model with no vehicle-accreditation requirements and no penalties for overdue cargo entry/exit requests, and has no disclosed parent company, subsidiaries, M&A history, funding rounds, or headcount.

Broad incumbents

• DHL Global Forwarding: DHL Global Forwarding is the freight forwarding arm of Deutsche Post DHL, a global leader in ocean, air, and road freight forwarding. Comparable as a broad incumbent that competes for the same international forwarding and multimodal coordination contracts.
• Eurogate: Eurogate is a major European container terminal operator with facilities across Germany, Mediterranean, and West Africa. Comparable as a broad incumbent in the port-terminal operating business, similar in core activity to Русмарин–Форвардинг's terminal function but at much larger scale and different geography.
• DSV: DSV is a global freight forwarding and logistics major with strong multimodal forwarding, road, and air/ocean capabilities. Comparable as a broad incumbent competing for the same freight forwarding and multimodal coordination wallet that Русмарин–Форвардинг targets for international cargo flows.
• Kuehne+Nagel: Kuehne+Nagel is one of the world's largest freight forwarders with global ocean, air, and road forwarding plus contract logistics. Comparable as a broader-scale incumbent offering multimodal forwarding services that overlap directly with Русмарин–Форвардинг's forwarding business, though it does not focus on Russian port terminal operations.
• CEVA Logistics: CEVA Logistics is a global freight forwarding and contract logistics provider with multimodal capabilities across sea, air, and road. Comparable as a broader incumbent in the freight forwarding and end-to-end logistics services category that overlaps with Русмарин–Форвардинг's multimodal transportation offering.
• HHLA (Hamburger Hafen und Logistik): HHLA is a leading European port logistics group operating container terminals, intermodal rail, and forwarding/logistics services. Comparable for the integrated terminal-plus-multimodal model that mirrors Русмарин–Форвардинг's structure, though HHLA operates at materially larger scale and different geography.

Direct peers

• FESCO (Far Eastern Shipping Company): FESCO is a Russian integrated logistics group operating container terminals, multimodal rail/sea/road transport, and forwarding services. It is directly comparable because it bundles port terminal operations with multimodal forwarding and foreign trade services across Russia.
• Delo Group: Delo Group is a major Russian multimodal transport and terminal operator (parent of TransContainer and Global Ports competitors like Multi-Link). Directly comparable as a Russian-domiciled multimodal logistics group combining port operations, rail forwarding, and ВЭД-related services.
• TransContainer: TransContainer is a major Russian intermodal container operator combining rail-based container transportation with terminal operations and forwarding. Comparable for the same reasons as FESCO — integrated terminal + intermodal + forwarding model serving Russian import/export flows.
• Global Ports: Global Ports is a leading Russian container terminal operator with facilities at key Russian ports including the Baltic basin. It is the closest direct peer because it operates port-adjacent container terminals serving import/export cargo with similar multimodal connectivity — exactly the same value chain as Русмарин–Форвардинг's St. Petersburg terminal.
