We are pleased to present to you the final issue of the journal in 2025 and inform you that LOGISTICS is opening a new page in its development by starting cooperation with the Crystal Growth Foundation, which means that the information saturation of the publication will change for the better. The first issue is dedicated to one of the innovative domestic developments, AI-Kantorovich, which the Crystal Growth Foundation created together with Hive Mind AI.
Dear readers! We are pleased to present to you the eleventh issue of the journal in 2025. There are a lot of relevant and useful materials in the issue, which, hopefully, will not be ignored.
Dear readers! In September the CeMAT RUSSIA exhibition was held, which showed everyone that innovations and robotics are increasingly penetrating the logistics industry. We can safely say that many technologies are tested here, and only then they go out into the world. However, it is not only CeMAT RUSSIA that demonstrates the prevalence of the digital agenda.
RZD Logistics JSC launched a new transit service from the city of Yantai (China) to Duisburg (Germany). The first train with finished household products, auto parts and components for electronics production left the station on July 26 and arrived at its destination on August 14.
Thus, RZD Logistics at current is organizing container trains from various cities of the Shandong province to Moscow, St. Petersburg, Perm, Minsk, and Duisburg today. Besides that, the service will be launched on the new route from Jinan City, Shandong Province to Budapest in August.
The Yantai - Duisburg route passes through the territory of Mongolia, since the Shandong Province geographically gravitates precisely to this path, as well as it is ready to provide an additional subsidy for it. The service is not monoclient and is available to a wide range of shippers. It is planned that at the end of III - beginning of the IV quarter train departures will be scheduled on a regular basis.
«Our cooperation with the Yantai station is developing quite rapidly - just a month ago we launched a service to Moscow, and today we present a transit route to Germany and there is no doubt in its further successful development. Shandong ranks third in the GDP ranking of various provinces in China, it is an industrialized region with a high level of both production and consumption, which gives us a good chance to work out the issue of reverse loading of transit trains», Vyacheslav Valentik, CEO of RZD Logistics JSC.
