Sea Freight with Blackthorne International Transport

Containerized cargo is a popular mode of travel to Russia from many ports in the world. Currently the only direct line from the UK to Russia is the Containership vessel operating from Deeside to St. Petersburg port every week. The transit time on this route is about 5 days. From St. Petersburg there are many more inland connections available by road, rail and river.

The containers on board the vessel are classed as unaccompanied so if you have a full load for a 40' container or truck the container service would be more economical.

This can be a bit of problem in winter as St. Petersburg Port does quite often freeze over and prevent vessels from docking.
