Sovfrakht is a freight with the state approach

In difficult economic realities, it is high time to look at industry leaders, such as the Sovfracht group of companies.

- Now it is fashionable to talk about sanctions, about the crisis, that the Russian economy and the logistics industry have entered a period of stagnation - but these are mostly excuses for those who are not used to living and working in an open market, who rely only on government subsidies According to the Chairman of the Board of the Sovfrakht Group of Companies Dmitry Purim. Freight - what is it? The word comes from him.fracht, English.freight. Freight is a term from the law of the sea, meaning a payment due to a contract or law for shipping. Usually the relationship between the customer and the contractor is carried out by means of a freight broker - a narrow specialist, an authorized person who is well versed in all the intricacies of this process. In Russia, there are quite a lot of cargo carriers, but they can be counted on reliable fingers, with history, with traditions. One of the most respected players in the freight market is the Sovfreight group of companies - the generally recognized Russian leader of Russian freight.

“We in Sovfrakht are accustomed to hoping for professionalism, experience and reputation that has developed over the years, and the results of our work are digitized in quarterly and annual reports, ” emphasizes Dmitry Purim. - For the first 9 months of 2014, Sovfracht transported 13 million 400 thousand tons of cargo, which is 6.5% more than last year. For container traffic, the increase was 12.6%. The total volume of the park Sovfrahta exceeded 16,000 units.

- 2014 was quite successful. Sovfracht signed a contract with the Caspian Energy Group (CNRG) for the construction of oil barges and tugs, signed an agency agreement with one of the world's largest container operators - COSCO Group, won several tenders, including the transportation of goods for the Leningrad NPP and the Renault concern. We confidently look into the future and are developing, and we are doing this in line with the national strategy for the development of the transport system, Purim emphasized.

“The state today pays special attention to the modernization of the transport infrastructure and this is not just a declaration, it is reflected in the federal target program“ Development of the transport system of Russia for 2010–2020, ” Dmitry Purim recalled. - The total amount of funding for the target program’s activities today is about 11.7 trillion rubles. The program involves many projects, from the development of roads to the construction of high-speed rail lines.

Sovfrakht is in the wake of the state strategy. One of the most important factors for Sovfrakht’s success is strategic planning, the ability to look into the future, and with a focus on Russia's national interests. The company's activity has long been associated with the Arctic - with a region that has recently received increased attention from both the Russian government and President Vladimir Putin personally.

“Back in the thirties of the twentieth century, when cargo traffic was just getting better and the first Kara expeditions were going along the Northern Sea Route, Sovfreight is already an expert in organizing logistics operations in the High North, ” reminds the rich history of the company Dmitry Purim. - Sovfrakht and now highly appreciates the Arctic transport potential. This is not a very adapted territory yet, but on the whole a rather promising logistics system, thanks to which Russia will be able to carry out large-scale economic projects in the future.

- The Arctic experience of Sovfrakht shows that you need to look at all the processes in the region globally and learn to interact. The Arctic is today at the center of great geopolitics, and Sovfrakht, in these conditions, invites everyone interested in the development of the Arctic to keep up. This means that all commercial and government agencies, law enforcement agencies and scientific organizations need to strive not only to achieve their goals, but also to contribute to solving problems of implementing the state strategy for the development of the Far North, Dmitry Purim believes. - Sovfreight is not just freight, it is freight with a state approach.
