Delo Group (Russia)

What Delo Group (Russia) does

Delo Group (ГК «Дело») is a privately held Russian multimodal transport and logistics holding founded in 1993, operating across four business directions: stevedoring (Global Ports, DeloPorts, NUTEP container terminal, KSK grain terminal), railway container transportation (Transcontainer — 40,000 fitting platforms/containers, 220,000 TEU capacity), multimodal transport and freight forwarding (Ruscon, with CTOLLRU customs operations), and maritime shipping (SASCO serving Russia's Far East). The group controls 7 marine terminals across the Azov-Black Sea, Baltic, and Far Eastern basins, plus 46 dry terminals, with combined annual capacity of 3.5 million TEU marine, 3.6 million TEU dry, and 10.5 million tons of grain. Core technology is delivered through subsidiary DeloTech, providing digital document management and integration with state systems ГосЛог (national freight forwarder registry), Честный знак (mandatory product marking), and Меркурий (veterinary traceability); Novorossiysk grain and container terminals have operated on 100% renewable (wind) electricity since January 2022.

The group earns revenue primarily on transaction-fee structures: stevedoring for containers and bulk grain, railway container freight via Transcontainer, door-to-door multimodal freight forwarding through Ruscon, and maritime transportation via SASCO. Capital is supplemented by a ruble-denominated bond program with more than 100 billion rubles outstanding held by approximately 25,000 retail investors, plus sub-holding-level issuances. Customers are enterprise-scale industrial and agricultural exporters and importers (grain, mineral fertilizers, chemicals, machinery, auto components) plus logistics companies and freight forwarders using the group's terminals, fleet, and customs infrastructure. Ownership sits with founder Sergey Shishkarev (~50%), state corporation Rosatom via Atomenergoprom (49%), and LLC R-Alians (1%); in 2026 the parties executed a "russkaya ruletka" mutual buyout under FAS supervision, which left the buyout right with Rosatom. The group has flagged a future Moscow Exchange listing and reported FY2024 revenue of $3.12 billion (IFRS, down 8% YoY) with EBITDA of $1.0 billion.

Go-to-market is enterprise field sales serving industrial, agricultural, and logistics customers across Russia, with end-to-end multimodal solutions and direct account management for anchor clients. Distribution channels include owned terminals and the Transcontainer/Ruscon field salesforces, complemented by the DeloTech digital self-service layer. Marketing is largely institutional: industry conferences (Transport Russia, BRICS Business Council), a corporate Telegram channel, and the Delo.Analytics thought-leadership portal. The firm holds a ruAA- credit rating (Expert RA) and employs approximately 11,000 people across the group.

Expansion highlights6 records

Regional players

• Eurogate: European container terminal operator and logistics provider focused on European deep-sea and short-sea terminals. Comparable as a regional player with similar stevedoring and intermodal capabilities, though serving a different geography.

Broad incumbents

• Maersk (A.P. Moller-Maersk): Global integrated container logistics company with terminal operations, ocean shipping, and inland logistics. Comparable as a broad incumbent whose end-to-end model mirrors Delo's vertical integration strategy, though operating on a global rather than Russian-domestic footprint.
• CMA CGM: Global shipping and terminal operator with growing port and inland logistics capabilities. Comparable as a broad incumbent in integrated maritime-logistics services competing for similar BRICS/non-Western trade flows.
• Russian Railways (RZD): State-owned national rail operator and the infrastructure owner on which Transcontainer's railway container business depends. A comparable incumbent given its dominance in container rail movements and as the upstream counterparty for Delo's terminal network.
• PSA International: Singapore-based global container terminal operator managing deep-water terminals worldwide. Comparable as a broad incumbent in terminal operations and intermodal logistics, especially for transshipment business relevant to Delo's hub-and-spoke network.
• DP World: One of the world's largest marine terminal operators with integrated logistics offerings. Comparable as a broad incumbent in global stevedoring and integrated logistics, though geographically not directly competing in Russian domestic terminals.
• Hutchison Ports: Global container terminal operator with deep-water and intermodal capabilities comparable to Delo's NUTEP and KSK terminals. Comparable as a broad incumbent in port operations, though operating across different geographies.
• COSCO Shipping Ports: Chinese global container terminal operator with significant exposure to Belt and Road trade corridors. Comparable as a broad incumbent that increasingly competes with Delo for Russia-China container volumes and partnerships such as the Xian Free Trade Port MOU.

Direct peers

• FESCO (Far Eastern Shipping Company): Russia's largest intermodal transport and logistics operator focused on Far East–bound container shipping, port operations, and railway logistics. Directly comparable in business mix (port + rail + shipping + multimodal) and in competing for the same Russia-Asia container flows.

Emerging players

• NC Logistic: Russian 3PL operator specializing in customs logistics and warehouse services. A comparable emerging player in Russian contract logistics; also a direct collaboration partner with Ruscon on the first-in-Russia veterinary hub launched July 2026.
