Shipment examples from Iceland
Ways to ship cargo from Iceland to Russia
Shipments leave from the ports of Seyðisfjörður and Reykjavík with transit via Rotterdam. The cargo then heads to Russian ports, including Saint Petersburg and Ust-Luga. Suitable for heavy and bulky consignments.
Cargo is trucked within Iceland to the ports of Seyðisfjörður or Reykjavík, then crosses to Europe by ferry. On arrival, it travels by road to Russian cities, including Moscow, Nizhny Novgorod and Yekaterinburg. This format is used for medium-sized consignments and delivery to the warehouse door.
The main departure airport is Keflavík (KEF). Transit is via Helsinki (HEL) or Copenhagen (CPH), arriving at Sheremetyevo (SVO) or Domodedovo (DME). Best for small consignments, components and urgent shipments.
Sea + road or air + road combinations, for example Seyðisfjörður — Rotterdam — Yekaterinburg or KEF — HEL — Kazan. Used for non-standard routes, large consignments and deliveries to Russian regions.

Connections in Europe are critical, as handling speeds vary from hub to hub.
