Logistics problems caused by the urgent reorientation of trade to the East are only increasing. This year, at least a quarter less imports than planned were brought to Russia by railway from the Far East. The Moscow Times writes about it. Due to problems with the export of cargo by rail, Russia was unable to import about 80 million tons of cargo traffic for January-October 2024 – that is why the export from the Far Eastern ports was less than the planned indicators. All this time, Russian Railways lagged behind its own schedule of monthly transportation by at least 25%. As of December, the backlog remains, so at the end of the year the result will be the same: minus a quarter.Advertisement: Due to mass breakdowns of locomotives, the number of abandoned trains in 2023 has increased by 2.4 times to 42,600. In addition, the company is experiencing an acute shortage of personnel. According to the shippers, the most frequent problem of the Russian Railways, in addition to the lack of locomotives, was the shortage of personnel. The monopoly lacks locomotive crews and almost all technical employees. Recall:Advertisement: Russia is facing increasing difficulties getting goods to China via its eastern rail network, a sign of wider economic problems caused by war and sanctions, despite assurances from the Kremlin that all is well.
