Maersk also stops accepting new orders on its services both to and from Russia, including ocean, transcontinental, rail and aviation. The export of all previously imported containers from Russia is planned until the end of April 2022.

The implementation of regulatory documents and restrictive measures imposed by the governments of foreign countries in relation to the Russian Federation, as well as the expected economic turbulence in the country’s economy, do not allow us to continue our activities in Russia.
