The largest logistics company in China, OOCL Logistics, refused to ship already paid goods to Russia. We are talking about dresses, skirts, trousers, shoes and other clothes bought by the aggressor country.
Deliveries of products were to leave warehouses in Shanghai to the Russian port of Vladivostok. Officially, the failure of the agreement was not reported, the information was provided by Russian sources working with procurement.
A copy of the letter has been circulated online, in which representatives of the Russian company inform their colleagues about the disruption in supplies. The letter notes that the clothes are still going to be brought to the Russian Federation using the services of another company.
Most likely, the decision of OOCL Logistics is connected with the fear of secondary sanctions. “Due to the current situation in the world, the global community of unfriendly countries continues to put pressure on international freight forwarders and transport companies working with the Russian Federation,” the letter says.
OOCL Logistics is owned by Orient Overseas, one of the world’s largest logistics companies headquartered in Hong Kong. It is believed that Orient Overseas is working closely with the leadership of China. Previously, there were no problems with the transportation of OOCL Logistics in the Russian Federation, according to Russian media.
As GLOBAL HAPPENINGS reported, this is not the first case in recent times when there are problems with the supply of goods from “friendly” countries to Russia. So, in March, Turkey stopped the transit to Russia of goods subject to Western sanctions. The decision was made under pressure from the United States and Europe.
In addition, Kazakhstan refused to allow goods through the so-called “parallel imports” to Russia. To do this, the state will launch an online tracking system for goods from April. Thus, the authorities of Kazakhstan expect to reduce the risks of secondary sanctions.
