Great Britain is the world's largest financial and trade and economic center.
Export goods produced in the country, and these are, for the most part, electronics, household and industrial chemicals, perfumes, software, telecommunications equipment, medical equipment, food products, are supplied to the markets of various countries, including Russia, by various types of transport. In Russia's foreign trade turnover, Great Britain ranks 12th in terms of trade volumes.
The geographical position of Great Britain suggests the use of primarily sea transport for the export of export products, however, air transportation and road transport are also in demand.
Delivery of goods from Great Britain by sea
There are several ports in Great Britain through which container cargo is delivered both to Europe and to Russia, these are Tilbury, Southampton, Hull, Felixstowe, Glasgow. There are no direct permanent lines to St. Petersburg: goods are transshipped onto feeder ships in continental ports - Hamburg, Antwerp, Rotterdam, Bremerhaven, and then go to the port of St. Petersburg, as well as to the Finnish and Baltic ports, through which it is also possible to deliver goods to Russia.
As for ferries, there is a direct connection between the ports of Great Britain and the ports of continental Europe located in Spain, Norway, Finland, France, Germany, Sweden, the Baltic States.
Delivery of goods from Great Britain by air
Air transportation from Great Britain is used if it is necessary to deliver the most valuable and expensive goods. The fact is that the cost of land transportation from the recipient's warehouse to the airport is very high, which makes it unprofitable for the transportation of inexpensive goods. Nevertheless, all 45 airports of the country are loaded to the limit, including with goods of Russian cargo owners. The main airport from where most flights to Russia are carried out is Heathrow. MoveCargo is ready to organize any air transportation from this airport to the airports of Moscow, St. Petersburg, Ufa, Kazan, Yekaterinburg, Nizhny Novgorod, Sochi, Tyumen, Novosibirsk.
Cargo delivery by road
Road transportation from the UK is also possible, despite the fact that the country is an island. There is a tunnel under the English Channel, through which cars, trucks and container ships get from Dover (Great Britain) to Calais (France),and then follow the route through European countries, including Russia. Transit time to Moscow is 8 days. Consolidated cargo from Great Britain is also transported by road.
