Delo Group

What Delo Group does

Delo Group is a Russian transport and logistics holding company founded in 1993, headquartered in Moscow. It is Russia's largest intermodal container and port operator, providing integrated cargo delivery across the multimodal transport chain — marine stevedoring, rail container transportation, inland terminal operations, multimodal forwarding, and shipping. The Group operates through core subsidiaries: Global Ports (container terminals in Baltic and Far East basins), TransContainer PJSC (rail container transportation with a fleet of 40,000 flatcars and 220,000 TEU capacity), Ruscon (multimodal transport operator), DeloPorts (stevedoring in Novorossiysk including NUTEP container terminal and KSK grain terminal), DeloTech (strategic IT integrator), and SASCO (Far Eastern shipping). Infrastructure spans 7 marine terminals (3.5 million TEU and 10.5 million tonnes grain annual capacity) and 46 inland terminals (3.6 million TEU capacity), covering the Azov-Black Sea, Baltic, and Far East basins.

The Group's revenue model is transaction-fee based across its primary service lines — stevedoring, rail transportation and logistics, grain transshipment, and shipping — supplemented by professional-services revenue from digital offerings through DeloTech. Services are quoted per cargo requirement rather than via publicly disclosed pricing. Go-to-market is primarily direct enterprise field sales targeting container shipping companies, grain exporters, freight forwarders, and adjacent verticals (e.g., automotive component importers, livestock/pet pharmaceutical distributors). Channel partnerships include Russian Railways and customs/integrator networks. Customer-facing digital touchpoints include a Telegram chatbot, Chestniy Znak labelling service, and a carbon footprint calculator, while DeloTech contributes to the National Digital Transportation and Logistics Platform (NDTLP) and provides 1C-based automation solutions.

The Group is privately held, controlled by founder and Chairman Sergey Shishkarev. Global Ports Investments PLC (61.5% owned) was redomiciled from Cyprus to Russia in December 2024, and a unified visual brand ecosystem was launched in mid-2025. International expansion is active, including joint ventures and memoranda with Shandong Port Group (China), RATRACO and VIMC (Vietnam), MODENA Group (Indonesia), and operations reaching India, Turkey, Iran, Saudi Arabia, Israel, Cuba, and Finland.

Scale indicators9 records

Recent moves9 records

Expansion highlights6 records

Broad incumbents

• COSCO Shipping Ports: Major global container terminal operator with extensive network particularly in Asia and Europe. Comparable as container terminal operator with shipping-line integration; relevant given Delo's partnership with Shandong Port Group for Russia-China trade.
• DP World: Global port operator with major terminal portfolio across Asia, Europe, and the Middle East. Comparable at the level of integrated marine terminal operations, container handling, and multimodal logistics services across multiple geographies.
• PSA International: One of the world's largest container terminal operators based in Singapore. Comparable as global deep-sea container stevedoring incumbent with similar operational scale in TEU throughput and terminal capacity.
• CMA CGM (Terminals division): Global container shipping line and terminal operator with significant port investments worldwide. Comparable through container terminal operations and vertically integrated shipping-logistics model; relevant competitor on containerized trade routes.
• Russian Railways (RZD): National rail monopoly of Russia that operates the rail network on which TransContainer's 40,000 flatcars run. Acts both as channel partner and broad incumbent with overlapping container, terminal, and logistics ambitions, dwarfing Delo in rail scope.
• Hutchison Ports: One of the world's largest container terminal operators with global network. Comparable as a deep-sea container terminal incumbent; less directly competitive given primary Russian focus but comparable in stevedoring operations and container-handling scale.

Regional players

• Eurogate: Major European container terminal operator focused on North European ports. Comparable in container stevedoring operations and intermodal connections to rail/road; geographically adjacent to Delo's Baltic basin operations and Multi-Link Terminals JV.
• Novorossiysk Commercial Sea Port (NCSP): Major Russian port operator at Novorossiysk competing directly with Delo's NUTEP container terminal and KSK grain terminal in the Azov-Black Sea Basin. Same geography, same customer base of exporters and shipping lines, and overlapping bulk and container capabilities.

Direct peers

• FESCO (Far Eastern Shipping Company): Russian integrated intermodal transport and logistics company operating container terminals, rail, port, and shipping services. Directly comparable as a Russian multimodal competitor with overlapping geography (Far East/Vladivostok) and similar customer base of exporters and importers.

Emerging players

• Shandong Port Group: Chinese provincial port operator with which Delo Group has an active joint venture for multimodal container transportation and warehousing logistics. Comparable as a peer port operator and direct strategic partner for cross-border Russia-China container trade.
