Russia's Shipping Services
The volume of trade between Turkey and Russia has risen significantly in recent years. By 2025, bilateral trade is expected to exceed $60 billion. This means that more and more machines, food, textiles, construction materials and industrial products are moving between the two countries.
However, shipping to Russia is not as standard as shipping to Europe. Border crossings, document systems, currency regulations and logistical infrastructure differences make this route a carefully planned process. This is where Fatih Group Logistics comes into play.
As the main method of transport, the highway is still the most common choice. However, especially thanks to the Central Asia connection and the BTK (Baku-Tbilisi-Kars) line, railway transportation is also becoming increasingly attractive. For large volume products, the alternative of the sea route (Istanbul/Mersin - Novorossiysk, Saint Petersburg or Baltic ports) can also be considered. In case of emergency, fast transportation can be provided by Moscow or Yekaterinburg-a airline.
Each method, Russia, is customized taking into account the geographical width of the ’, seasonal difficulties (especially in winter) and customs dynamics. Because Russia is a cargo you send to ’, it means a strategic step, not just a shipment.
