PJSC TransContainer is a Russian transportation company and Russia’s largest railway container operator. PJSC TransContainer revenues increased throughout 2023 and it recorded an increase in transit traffic in the second half of 2023, which was primarily due to the flow of Belarusian cargo through the ports of the north-west of Russia. PJSC TransContainer has also agreed to offer its services at the new terminal of the Alabuga Special Economic Zone (SEZ). The Alabuga SEZ has been cooperating with the Ministry of Defence and Logistics of the Iranian Armed Forces to locate the production site of Shahed loitering munitions (the name of the Russian version is "Geran").28.6.2024
In addition, PJSC TransContainer participates in illegal weapon trade schemes with the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK) in support of the Russian Government. In 2023, shipment containers owned by PJSC TransContainer were spotted en route to Rajin port, DPRK. Containers from PJSC TransContainer were also spotted at Tikhoretsk Ammo Depot, which provides supplies of various types of ammunition to the Russian armed forces. Tikhoretsk Ammo Depot, a strategic storage facility located around 400 kilometres from the border with Ukraine, supports operational munitions storage facilities for the Russian armed forces closer to the Ukraine front.Therefore, Mikhail Kontserev, in his capacity as the General Director of PJSC TransContainer, is supporting materially the Government of the Russian Federation, which is responsible for the annexation of Crimea and the destabilisation of Ukraine.
