So, for example, delivery to Russia can be carried out through the ports of the Baltic states, Finland, Russia (St. Petersburg, Ust-Luga, Novorossiysk, Rostov-on-Don, Vladivostok, Nakhodka and other sea ports of Russia).

How containers are attached
During loading operations, various devices and fastening technologies are used:
- Fixed or removable restraints. These are rigid guides that are commonly used to secure even a large container on a utility or cellular container ship. Lashing (rigid) fasteners include rod, chain and cable options. The safest are bar fasteners.
- Fitting fastening of containers allows you to place and securely fix the container on board. The fasteners are in the form of steel castings that are welded to the deck.
- Cellular and cellular means allow you to securely secure cargo, maintaining its integrity in the tier and increasing the convenience of cargo operations. Cellular fasteners or guide strips divide the hold in the transverse and longitudinal directions.
To protect against vertical and horizontal movement of containers on the deck, locking elements are used - twistlocks, which are mounted in the lower corners of each tier. When choosing a fixation technology, you should take into account the actual weight and size of the container, external factors (wind, storm), stress in the ship’s hull, level of stability and other factors.
