Currently, Oboronlogistics is aimed at working in the direction of such friendly countries as Egypt, India, Iran, Syria, as well as Turkey, with which Russia is associated with the implementation of a number of joint projects in the field of energy and industrial construction. The company plans to open new shipping lines.
In 2018, the Government of the Russian Federation decided to establish a special procedure for the arrival and departure from the territory of the Russian Federation of cargo transported by ships of LLC Oboronlogistics within the framework of economic cooperation with interested states. This decision creates favorable conditions for the growth of cargo turnover and the volume of Russian traffic in the Mediterranean region.
