Container Terminal «C.I.T.» provides a full range of services on terminal processing, storage, assembly and organization of receiving/sending of 20-, 40- and 45-foot containers, refrigerated containers in all Russian and foreign directions; the organization of multimodal transport and the transport of goods, including heavy and dangerous goods, as part of fast container trains.
