Russia’s Rosatom has acquired Delo Group’s remaining 51% stake—valued at $900m—to gain full control and integrate it with FESCO (92.5%-owned) and other transport assets. The consolidated platform includes over 220,000 teu of container capacity, 40,000 rail platforms, 30 ships, and the Commercial Port of Vladivostok. It now commands 50% of Russia’s container handling market and 44% of rail container transportation, positioning itself as the country’s largest national logistics company.

Rosatom acquires Delo for $900M, creates Russia’s largest logistics firm

According to splash247.com, Russia’s state-owned Rosatom has acquired the remaining 51% stake in Delo Group from founder Sergei Shishkarev, bringing its ownership to 100% and initiating full consolidation with its other transport assets.

Full Control and Valuation

Rosatom previously held 49% of Delo. The acquisition was executed through a mutual buyout mechanism triggered in February, under which Shishkarev’s 51% stake was valued at RUB77bn ($900m), while Rosatom’s prior 49% stake had been priced at RUB74bn. Neither party disclosed the final consideration, though the $900m valuation serves as the publicly cited figure for the transaction.

Integrated Logistics Platform

Rosatom CEO Alexei Likhachev stated the group will establish a common management centre for Delo, FESCO, and its other transport holdings — unifying shipping, ports, rail, road transport, and forwarding operations. Delo contributes a substantial container platform, including marine and inland terminals, more than 220,000 teu of container capacity, and approximately 40,000 rail platforms. It also controls the KSK grain terminal at Novorossiysk, with an annual capacity of up to 10m tonnes.

FESCO and Market Scale

FESCO — in which Rosatom holds 92.5% — adds over 30 ships, container and rail operations, and the Commercial Port of Vladivostok. The combined logistics assets now account for around 50% of Russia’s container handling market and 44% of rail container transportation, according to the source.

Ocean Carrier ETAs Missing for 8.43% of Shipments

A Tradlinx analysis of over 500,000 annual ocean shipments found carrier ETAs were missing in 8.43% of cases — with 87% of those gaps occurring at transshipment ports. The average ETA error was 15.4 hours; 4.99% of shipments missed actual arrival by 48+ hours, averaging 90.0 hours of error. Tradlinx stated the core problem is not just inaccuracy but the frequent absence of ETA data altogether — especially where operational planning is most critical.

Union Pacific CEO 99.99% confident on $85B Norfolk Southern merger

Union Pacific CEO Jim Vena expressed 99.99% confidence in regulatory approval of the $85 billion acquisition of Norfolk Southern. Speaking on Oct. 6, he argued the merger would cut freight transit times by 24–48 hours between U.S. coasts and enhance rail’s competitiveness against trucking. The combined network would span roughly 50,000 miles of track, with a final Surface Transportation Board decision expected in 2027. Opponents, including the Stop the Rail Merger Coalition, warn the deal would place nearly half the nation’s rail traffic under single control, risking higher costs and supply chain instability.

6 Trucking Firms File RICO Suit Against C.H. Robinson, TQL

Six U.S. trucking companies — Stevens Trucking, Western Flyer Express, Freymiller, IWX Motor Freight, Christenson Transportation, and E.O.S. — filed a civil RICO lawsuit against C.H. Robinson and Total Quality Logistics in Texas federal court on September 23. They allege the brokers used carriers employing forced labor and falsified logs to submit artificially low bids, costing plaintiffs over $120 million in lost revenue across multiple shippers including Ford, Driscoll’s, and Graphic Packaging. The case hinges on whether lost contracts constitute a direct injury under the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act — a question shaped by the Supreme Court’s 2006 Anza v. Ideal Steel precedent. Plaintiffs seek treble damages, citing revenue drops up to 30%, $51 million in lost sales, and $21 million in missed linehaul revenue.
