Strategy

Our Mission

Our mission is to provide effective support to our clients by offering prompt, reliable and comprehensive containerised cargo delivery and logistics solutions.

Today, container business is among the most advanced and tech savvy segments of the freight transportation market. Our mission is to create additional value across the logistics chain, making container shipments safer, cheaper and more affordable for both cargo owners and consignors. This will in turn help reduce the transportation component in the price of the final product and therefore boost the efficiency and competitiveness of the Russian economy.

Strategic Goals

To increase the Company's market capitalisation through the increase of scale of business and its efficiency.

Creating additional value for our clients and partners is key to achieving the strategic goal of ensuring long-term sustainable value growth for shareholders.

The core vehicles for reaching the strategic goal are as follows:

growth of container transportation volumes as a result of:

  • enhancing customer experience;
  • simplifying and speeding up the transportation process;
  • expanding freight volumes by tapping into new market segments;
  • competitive pricing;

decrease in per unit operating expenses as a result of:

  • streamlining performance of the flatcar and container fleet;
  • reducing of empty runs by optimising container logistics
  • optimising the container terminal network;
  • introducing state-of-the-art information technologies,
  • Improvement of labour productivity.

Target Business Model

A vertically integrated transport and logistics group, containerised cargo shipper and supplier of select logistics services in Eurasia.

The Company ensures the delivery of its mission and strategic goal by developing a vertically integrated business model of a network container operator.

  • TransContainer builds its business in the container segment, the transport market’s most dynamic segment with a significant growth potential.
  • Wide network coverage of the business results from operating the largest fleet of flatcars and containers in the 1520 gauge market, running a network of railway container terminals in Russia, and administering a developed sales and service network that includes 90 sales offices in Russia and operations in 29 European and Asian countries. This helps to ensure the availability and reliability of container shipments for all categories of clients, and offers them the widest range of transportation and logistics services in the container market. The extensive network of routes also enhances the potential for optimising empty runs and increasing freight volumes.
  • Vertical integration of key transport assets, including flatcars, containers and rail container terminals, improves the control of intermodal haulage quality, and serves as an essential factor in increasing the rolling stock turnover.
