The mission of PJSC TransContainer is to effectively assist customers' business: quickly, reliably and comprehensively solving their problems in logistics and delivery of cargo in containers.

The container business today is one of the most modern and technological segments of the freight transportation market. The Company sees its mission in creating additional value for all participants in the supply chain, making container transportation more reliable, cheaper and more accessible for cargo owners and shippers. This, in turn, will help to reduce the transport component in the price of the final product and thereby increase the efficiency and competitiveness of the Russian economy.

Strategic goal

The main strategic goal of the Company is to increase the value of the Company by increasing the scale and efficiency of business development.

Creating additional value for customers and partners is a key condition for achieving the strategic goal of providing long-term sustainable growth in value for shareholders.

As the main means of achieving the strategic goal, the Company considers:

growth in container traffic due to:

  • improving the quality of customer service,
  • simplification and acceleration of the transportation process,
  • expanding the cargo base by entering new market segments,
  • competitive pricing;

reduction of specific operating expenses due to:

  • increasing the productivity of the fleet of fitting platforms and containers, reducing empty runs,
  • optimization of the container terminal network,
  • introduction of modern information technologies,
  • increase in labor productivity.

Target business model

A vertically integrated transport and logistics holding, a carrier of container cargo and a provider of certain logistics services on the territory of the Eurasian continent.

The Company ensures compliance with its mission and achievement of the strategic goal through the development of a vertically integrated business model of a network container operator.

The business model is based on the following competitive advantages of the Company:

  • The Company develops business in the container transportation segment, the most dynamic segment of the transport market with high growth potential;
  • network coverage of the business is ensured by operating the largest fleet of flatcars and containers in the 1520 gauge area, the presence of a network of railway container terminals in Russia and Kazakhstan, a developed sales and service network, which includes 95 sales offices in Russia and a presence in 29 countries in Europe and Asia . This allows us to ensure the availability and reliability of container transportation for any category of customers, as well as to offer them the widest possible range of transport and logistics services in the field of container transportation. A developed network of routes also increases the potential for optimizing empty runs and attracting a cargo base;
  • vertical integration of key transport assets - flatcars, containers and railway container terminals, allows to improve the quality control of the execution of an intermodal transportation order, and is also a significant factor in increasing the turnover of the rolling stock fleet.

Provisions of the current Strategy of the Company

Taking into account the expected growth of the container market, while maintaining a tough competitive environment, as well as taking into account the Company's competitive advantages and based on the mission, target business model and strategic goal of PJSC TransContainer, the following strategic initiatives are proposed in the main areas of business.

We offer you to study the container terminal business plan, with which you can start your own business in the near future. Container terminals are designed for loading and unloading containers with large loads, as well as for storing goods and products, which are subsequently redistributed for further transportation by various modes of transport. Automation of these works helps to save time, free up loaders, and quickly redistribute stored products.

This ready-made document will also allow you to understand the features of working with export products that are sent to other countries. The container terminal must necessarily meet the requirements of customers. Therefore, it is necessary to constantly monitor the serviceability of equipment, carry out diagnostics in time and, if necessary, repair work. It should be clearly understood that the maintenance of such a loading and unloading terminal in itself will cost you relatively inexpensively, compared to paying for services by customers.

You can study the information on opening a container terminal right now, pay attention to the fact that this type of activity is rightfully considered one of the most profitable areas of business. Thousands of entrepreneurs daily need loading and unloading, packaging and transportation, trade sales between individual cities and countries are constantly growing, so the maintenance of a container terminal will become a profitable business for enterprising business people.

Innovative logistics: block train technology A container train is a group of wagons with containers that meets certain requirements for the minimum and maximum length of the train, departing from one station and following the approved schedule to a common destination station without disbanding and sorting at intermediate stations. Benefits of using a system of block trains running between railway terminals on a regular basis Possibility of consolidating container flows Speeding up delivery times Reducing empty runs Planned terminal hubs to be serviced by block trains Planned terminal hubs to be serviced by block trains Based on the results of 2011, the forecast traffic volume in CPC for Russian Railways will amount to 2.67 million TEUs, of which container trains will account for 38% (1.0 million TEUs). - Key railway terminals 57

Railway waybill (RF) Consists of 4 sheets sheet 1 - the original railway waybill (issued by the carrier to the consignee); sheet 2 - road list; sheet 3 - back of the road list (remains with the carrier); sheet 4 - receipt of acceptance of the cargo (remains with the consignor). Used for the carriage of goods by rail in domestic traffic 63

CIM/SMGS consignment note In 2006, the Organization for Cooperation between Railways (OSJD) approved the concept of a unified CIM-SMGS consignment note Used for the carriage of goods by rail in international traffic CIM/SMGS consignment note and paperless transport – the key to speeding up border crossings 64

Bill of Lading The main document in the organization of cargo transportation by sea, as well as for multimodal transportation In essence, it is the captain's receipt of acceptance of cargo for transportation Can be "Direct" and "Order" (to bearer) Against the original bill of lading at the port of destination cargo is released. A bill of lading is a document of title issued by an agent of a shipping company 65

Carnet TIR (TIR Carnet) Used for the carriage of goods by road (for international transport). Simplifies the procedure for passing state borders 69

Forwarder's cargo Receipt (FCR) Issued by the forwarder to the shipper and indicates the acceptance of the cargo for transportation by the forwarder 70

Perspectives in Trans. In the container, we plan to use the Bill of Lading as a single transport document in the future. It will replace (but not cancel) all documents that are "tied" to a particular multimodal transportation and be a single document issued by Trans. container for your customers. 71

Prospects for the development of the ITC o We need a new end-to-end model of interaction between all participants instead of autonomous, local processes. o It is required to form uniform “rules of the game” and fix them for 5-7 years. This applies to the technical and technological conditions of work, tariffs, areas of liability of the parties, the procedure for indemnification. o In particular, it is necessary: ​​§ introduction of the CIM-SMGS consignment note for transportation from China § formation of stable tariffs on the ITC for a period of 5-7 years § introduction of preliminary electronic declaration systems at all railway border crossings § separation of the wagon component in tariffs 72

- I believe that the interest of Russian Railways today is far from being concentrated in the field of container transportation. Apparently, they earn much more on bulk and oil cargo. In any case, it is these cargo flows that are definitely more interesting for them than container ones. I see that at the governmental and intergovernmental levels more often they discuss the problems associated with the handling of bulk and liquid cargo. A reasonable question arises: what, others do not exist? There are no general cargoes that are shipped in containers? Why is the topic of container transportation not discussed at all at this level? Yes, in one direction we carry bulk and liquid cargoes, but in the other direction we carry the same general cargoes, in containers. So what happens, we are not interested in reverse cargo flows at all? That is, we continue to focus only on raw material exports? After all, it is obvious that from the same China, this “factory of the world”, where all the major brand holders place their production, products are imported, and in the future they will be imported very actively. No matter how production develops in Russia, equipment comes from China, components for the manufacture of the Russian product, and it comes not in anything, but in containers. But since there are no sustainable delivery channels other than maritime, the topic of developing domestic production, it turns out, is also suffering today. In my opinion, this is a political issue. I mean the policy in the field of assigning priorities to cargo flows, as well as economic policy. And here the assignment of priorities in favor of a different nature of goods, a different nature of cargo flows is simply obvious. Then it is natural that transit routes will run where they now run: Kazakhstan is building a huge border trade complex with temporary storage warehouses, a business center in the border zone, we have none of this. Kazakhstan, the Baltic countries, Finland, all of them have very good projects, Russia... Yes, the transport and logistics complex is being developed in the North-West, but when all this will start to really function is a big question. Therefore, it turns out that all cargo flows go by alternative delivery routes. The transit could have been returned, but we believe that the lost profit does not apply to losses, but in reality it is a real lost profit. Because now the processing of cargo flows feeds other countries, and feeds them well.
Okay, everything is clear with alternative routes, but what about our main routes? Because they don't work either. I understand perfectly well that the sea route through the Baltics and through Finland should work as an alternative. But does he deserve the volumes that he has today? And what prevents us from carrying directly? During the work of the Russian delegation in China, the issue of railway capacity was discussed. There were representatives of the extractive industries, they signed serious agreements on the supply of raw materials, and they were very worried about how the railway would be able to provide all these supplies. After all, the transport companies that are designed to serve these cargo flows do not have unlimited transportation possibilities. It is possible that although Russian Railways declares container freight turnover as a priority in the transportation structure, it simply has nowhere to physically squeeze in. Because the existing infrastructure is not able to ensure the normal passage of these trains. Our company was interested and continues to be interested in the topic of accelerated container trains. When we began to work it out ourselves, it turned out that the schemes announced by Russian Railways did not work. I asked Vladimir Yakunin why the accelerated container trains do not operate on the declared routes, because the declared transit time is quite adequate, and everything looks perfect from the point of view of such a product. He answers: there is no cargo... Okay, I think (although this cannot be, you can see through the port flows that there is enough cargo), the second question: is there any way to activate this topic? I even proposed to him: the MAXILOG company is ready to take the initiative to attract cargo and, thus, to develop this direction jointly with Russian Railways. To which they answered me: there are plenty of such people who want to ... and this year Russian Railways will create its own logistics company (well, where is it?). Yes, no matter how many people are willing, there is no way to cooperate or what? Some have cargo flows - others have an infrastructure tool for these cargo flows. Efficient logistics can only be built on effective cooperation, and they only declare it... At the same time, the desire to do everything by ourselves clearly dominates - without cooperation with other market participants. Therefore, there is no railway in Russia - Not because it does not exist physically. There is a track. There is no efficient railway in Russia, because the transport business is not a business of "locomotives", "steamboats" and "trucks", but a business of interactions. Russian Railways has not assigned a General Priority - ensuring effective relations with other market participants. Therefore, it turns out that it is better to go in zigzags and lose transit time, but understand that these are regular routes. Naturally, sooner or later the situation will change, but for now we will not work with the railway. Now I understand quite clearly that this extra effort will not be rewarded, and will certainly lead to a disruption in delivery times, and other troubles. Why do we need this? There are clear delivery schemes, and we use them. After all, logistics is a function of time and distance. And if time is an incomprehensible parameter, why does it need such logistics?
On the whole, it is obvious that container transportation is the future. The container business is a planet, and we are just starting to explore it. Naturally, the cargo turnover of transport units that use containers is many times higher than, for example, tented vehicles. I'm not talking about the organization of multimodal transportation, about the fact that this is generally the only affordable mode of transportation, when the delivery distance significantly exceeds a thousand kilometers. Of course, the depreciation of technology in Russia is colossal. It is not clear how anything else works in the conditions of our frosts, heat and humidity. With the existing multimodal scheme, a much larger number of platforms is needed, because the cargo flow itself is handled in the port even more or less adequately, but it is exported from the port with great difficulty. Companies acquire new equipment very carefully, apparently the leasing conditions are not quite adequate. Technological renewal is taking place, but slowly. The entire infrastructure requires deep attention. But, apparently, high officials do not have a burning interest in this. It's just that someone, somewhere advocates that container transportation be more clearly organized, some attempts are being made to this end, but obviously insufficient. And the container topic today is far from being a priority at the top of Russian Railways, it's just a declaration ...

Among the variety of popular ways of delivering goods, container transportation by cars, trains and ships occupies almost a leading position. Due to its reliability, this service is very popular all over the world.

We also note that if it is possible to carry out cargo transportation by water or railway, you can significantly save money on such a service, and create a more profitable project. This also allows products to be transported very quickly.

Features of the chosen line of business

For many companies, this type of transportation of their products is interesting because it is possible to transport not only standard products, but also non-standard ones in containers. Cargo can be of various dimensions and weights, very valuable or not. In any case, your goods will be delivered to the right place without any problems, provided that a good carrier is chosen.

The container itself is a box completely made of metal, and made according to standard sizes. It has all the necessary components for both loading and unloading goods.

Important features of this service include:

  • this is a demanded service all over the world, and it will be almost impossible to replace it with something;
  • metal structure allows you to keep the goods in the middle of the container during transportation;
  • minimal effort is required to load the container before shipping;
  • there is no need to create a large number of documents;
  • Compared to conventional transportation of products, container transportation is much more profitable (when it comes to transporting products between countries over long distances).

Niche Efficiency

It is important to initially make a business plan for container transportation, in which all important aspects of organizing a company should be noted, from the necessary documents to the choice of places for advertising about services.

The very interest in this type of business is due to the fact that you can even start it with two used trucks for containers. But if you look at the realities, it is best to start with a fleet of 10-12 trucks. This will avoid the possibility of taking a loss. Well, most of all, the interest is fueled by the fact that the average cost of shipping a container, for example, from Russia to Europe or vice versa, is 3000-4000 euros. In this case, the transport will go approximately 3 days. Thus, for 1 month, one truck without constant workload can bring about 12,000 euros to the company.

Organization process

To carry out this kind of activity, it will be necessary to acquire trucks with platforms for transporting containers.

In order to be able to invest a small amount of money in the purchase of trucks at the initial stage, we recommend considering leasing options. In order for the bank to approve the receipt of funds in order to purchase a truck, it will be necessary to have money in an amount equal to at least 30% of the value of the vehicle. In addition, you must have income information for the past year. If these and other conditions are met, then soon you will be able to receive money for the purchase of the first truck, for the implementation of container transportation services.

In addition, your truck must be insured, and a GPS beacon must be installed on it, which will show online on your or employee's computer (installed program) where the truck is currently located.

For the successful operation of the company, you will need, in addition to renting a parking lot for transport and office space, to hire a lawyer, accountant, secretary, drivers and a dispatcher. Taking into account all possible costs and income, the return on investment can be realized in about 2 years with a small flow of customers.
