The situation worsens! Hundreds of containers were forcibly returned to China by Russia

Last month, Alice Arduini, CEO of Italian freight forwarding company Alix International, revealed that Russian authorities are checking one by one whether containers contain restricted goods, resulting in a large backlog of goods.

She said that since November 4 last year, a batch of goods that left China on October 22 have been stranded in Russia, and no one expected that Russia would suspend train operations across the board for inspections.

Recently, Alice Arduini further pointed out thatThe situation has worsened,Russian authorities began to re-inspect containers that have been allowed to leave the country, because the scope of "non-compliant" goods has been expanded to machinery, electronic products and camouflage clothing.

She mentioned that a batch of goods was found in a LCL container, causing the entire container to be ordered to be transported back to China. At the same time, she learned that 100 containers had been returned. She added that information about the shipping time for the return container was awaiting information to consider whether the goods were replaced to Italy.

Mr. Liu, general manager of a domestic logistics company, revealed that a clothing container shipped by a customer of his company for Christmas has been detained to this day, and about 70 containers have been affected. Another person in the logistics industry estimated that nearly 100 containers of its company were seized, with a total of more than 1,000 containers affected.

China is considering investing billion to help Türkiye modernize its railway infrastructure, including electrifying its railway network, building new domestic lines and expanding its high-speed railway network.

As more and more Central and European transports turn to the "Central Corridor" to bypass Russia, Türkiye hopes to position itself as the gateway to the "Central Corridor".
