It is part of the Delo Group of companies (affiliated with Rosatom State Corporation), with 58.67% of its shares owned by the sanctioned PJSC TransContainer, russia's largest railway container operator providing a full range of transport and logistics services in integration with other Delo Group assets.
The vessels of PJSC Sakhalin shipping company are involved in the development of future large-scale russian energy facilities, the delivery of relevant construction materials and equipment by sea to the Taimyr Peninsula, and the expansion of russia's trade routes to new foreign jurisdictions to replace the economic ties lost after russia's invasion of Ukraine.
