Carriers warned of price increases due to fuel shortages.
According to "Kommersant," the most difficult situation is developing in southern Russia, as well as in certain areas of Siberia and border regions. Carriers are complaining about restrictions on refueling, reduced daily mileage, increased waiting times at gas stations, and less predictable delivery times.
The logistics company "Sigma" reported that they have already received notifications from partners about a tariff increase of at least 10% starting in July. The company "VIG Trans" noted that rates on domestic routes remain relatively stable for now, but on international shipments and routes to CIS countries, the cost of diesel fuel has risen to 77–90 rubles per liter. As a result, some carriers have already increased their service prices by nearly 5%.
According to market participants, the problem is particularly acute in Crimea and other southern regions. The transport company PEC warned that due to queues at gas stations, delivery times for cargoes in the Krasnodar region and Crimea may increase.
The price increase has also affected international shipments. The company "Optimalog" reported that over the past week and a half, the cost of shipping goods from China has risen by an average of $700 per trip. The most noticeable price increase is observed on the routes Zabaikalsk — Blagoveshchensk and during transit through Mongolia.
The company "AKFA" added that just in the last week, the cost of transporting one truck from Chinese Manchuria to Moscow has increased by 50–70 thousand rubles. Now the delivery costs about 810–900 thousand rubles compared to the previous 760–830 thousand rubles.
