PBC Container Index — a composite index reflecting the cost of container transportation along the most popular container cargo import route to Russia. It is calculated based on the weighted average spot rates for the transportation of a FEU container owned by the carrier, loaded onto a ship or railway in Shanghai (FI / FOR Shanghai), to the recipient’s warehouse in Moscow (FOT Moscow) along four routes: through the ports of Vladivostok, St. Petersburg and Novorossiysk, as well as by direct rail.
PBC Container Index as of October 15, 2025: $5 305 (+4% м/м; -40% г/г).
The PBC Container Index is an independent operational indicator for assessing the cost of container cargo imports, as well as the general state of the transport and logistics services market in the China-Russia corridor. The PBC container index reflects the dynamics of spot rates for transport and logistics services for the delivery of container cargo from China, Russia’s largest foreign trade partner, which accounts for up to 40% of the value of commodity imports, as well as up to 80% of container cargo imports.
