JSC Russian Railways plans to change freight rates: what awaits the market?

In addition, container shipping rates are expected to increase by 15% in 2026 and 2027. This innovation could negatively affect shipping volumes, which are already declining. A possible increase in empty wagon rates is also being discussed, which will put additional strain on coal mining companies.

The company noted that these measures are aimed at increasing the competitiveness of rail transport, but have caused concern among market participants, who warn of a possible increase in inflation due to increased transport costs. An analysis of existing tariffs for mineral fertilizers, grain and timber showed that current rates remain unchanged, but the situation requires further consideration.
