Andrei Saveljev, Director General of Greenway HC:
- Today, containers coming to the port of Saint Petersburg may stay for over a week at the sea terminal waiting for customs clearance. Many of the customers are not satisfied with such a period. Besides, in January, some of the large container shipping operators closed their services to Saint Petersburg. Thus, delivery of cargo going to Russia via the ports of Finland is still very attractive for many cargo owners.
Greenway HC was set up in 1995 in Saint Petersburg. Today Greenway is a group of companies operating at the market of customs services, logistics, sea and road transportation, oil products trading, bunkering, environmental and legal services.
