The President considers it necessary to combine the capabilities and requirements of Russian consignors and carriers
Russian President Vladimir Putin gave instructions to look into using Sovcomflot vessels in the interest of Russian consignors, according to the transcript of the videoconference with the officials of RF Transport Ministry.
“I would like to ask the Minister of Transport to evaluate the situation with the use of Sovcomflot vessels by Russian consignors. They have their own freight and chartering problems. Sovcomflot also has trouble using these vessels. It is necessary to combine the capabilities and requirements of Russian consignors and carriers. I ask you to analyse this matter and to submit your proposals,” said the President.
