As found “Kommersant”, the suppliers and transporters of fuel have experienced problems in the delivery of oil products to the Crimea. Before the start of traffic on the bridge Roszheldor ordered to equip cars expensive electronic seal GLONASS, rent which is comparable in price with renting a car, and on the ferry you have any difficulty with the coordination of bids. The energy Ministry has already offers to mitigate the limitations that threaten a shortage of gasoline in the Crimea at the height of tourist season and increasing the frequency of ferries.Although from July 1 to open cargo railway traffic on the Crimean bridge, which should be the best price alternative to moving goods by ferry, shippers and the railroad actually can’t send in the region of the fuel.As tell sources“”, 10 and 22 June Roszheldor has issued two orders requiring safety reasons to equip electronic seals GLONASS all freight cars, following on the bridge. JSC GLONASS “Kommersant” said that the company does not manufacture the seals, and uses products of third party to transfer information in the monitoring system. “To make and install the seals can be any organization, whose decisions meet certain technical requirements,” the company says, noting that the market suppliers of such devices forming a single digital environment of the transport sector “should remain open and competitive, it is important to avoid monopoly.”However, one of interlocutors “” explains that now Russian Railways accepts for carriage of cars, equipped with seal only JSC “Engineering industrial concern “the Guardian”” (by data SPARK, belongs to natural persons, in 2016 the official supplier of seals to navigation under the agreement with JSC GLONASS). Rental fillings costs 960 rubles. per car per day, which is comparable to the rental price of the car, highlights the source “b”. Transportation by ferry costs about the same 1-1,2 thousand rubles for the car, that is the “efficiency” of the construction of Crimean bridge compared to the fare on the ferry is reduced to zero, he said.Another source of “Kommersant” in the market specifies: installation and removal of the seals prescribed Roszheldora, cost 500 rubles. for each transaction, the rent of 1 thousand rubles for the car in the day, while some types of cars (e.g., covered and oil tank cars) you need to hang two fillings.At the same time, say both sources, “b”, transportation of dangerous goods necessarily requires support of the departmental guard of the Russian Railways and the equipment shut-off devices. As a result, say market participants, the fees in favor of third parties absorb the potential savings when using a direct rail link across the bridge. Given srednesetevoj turnover of cars (more 18 days in may) the costs of the seals will be about 26 thousand rubles for the car, evaluates one of the interlocutors “Kommersant”.In GLONASS believe that the cost of renting a navigation seals “the Guardian” — the lowest in the market in comparison with other manufacturers, for example, have fillings more than 2 thousand. Indeed, according to the price list on the website of LLC “Center of development of digital platforms” (CRCP controlled by the “RT-invest the Transport system” owners who are rostec, and Igor Rotenberg), rental seals costs about 2,5 thousand rubles a day. At the current rate, this corresponds to a daily rent of three gondolas. CRCP is the operator of the system of transit of embargoed goods through the territory of the Russian Federation, launched July 15. Meanwhile the ferry by also having difficulty with July 3: says one of Kommersant’s sources, Russian Railways does not coordinate applications for railway-ferry freight on six or seven days, resulting in downtime of the wagons at factories in anticipation of acceptance for carriage and, consequently, to stop new shipments to consumers in the Peninsula. It turns out that the Railways refuse to accept the cargo for transport to ferry the message and send them across the bridge is not possible. In the Railways did not comment on the situation with applications.According to sources, “b”, delays and unnecessary costs resulted in a shortage of gasoline in the Crimea at the height of tourist season. AI-95 will soon disappear from sale, or prices reached inaccessible levels, he says.The source in the fuel market are also confirmed to Kommersant difficulties with the supply of petroleum products. Oil companies began to submit renewal of the June transactions until the end of July, on the grounds that enter into contracts for transportation over the bridge. The Railways do not harmonize of the application on the ferry, but now the situation has changed, as “already reached the top,” says the source. According to him, it became clear that if this continues to be so, the Crimea may be left without fuel. On the bridge while trains with fuel anyone on the Peninsula is not reached, says the source “b”.The representative of one of the major Crimean oil traders confirmed “Kommersant” that fuels and lubricants in the Crimea on the bridge through the Kerch Strait is not delivered: “We were taken by ferry, and delivered. Find out the rest in CR (the Federal state unitary enterprise “Crimean railway”)”. In CR calls to “b” is not answered.Chairman of the Association of freight carriers and freight forwarders of the Republic of Crimea Anatoly Churkin told “Kommersant” that they had heard about the safety rules and seals GLONASS. However, he believes that these rules increase the cost of fuel delivery to the Peninsula slightly. “Let the seal hang in Sevastopol and in the Crimea removed. 900 RUB on the seal. Let the tank, for example, from Saratov, although the Crimean traders carry (fuel.— “B”) from the Slavic-��and-Kubani, and this is near, coming ten days. 9 thousand rubles on the wagon at the rate of 109 thousand rubles for the car in one direction — it’s a penny. Otherwise, why we built the bridge? Think not for a ferry ride”,— said Mr. Churkin.Meanwhile, according to Cristeta, gasoline prices in the Crimea from late may until July 1, increased by 8.5%. The cost of fuel AI-95 reached almost 53 RUB In his letter to the Ministry of transport on July 14, the Deputy energy Minister Yevgeny Grabchak noted the “critical situation” with the supply of oil products to the Crimea (a copy is in “Kommersant”), arguing, with reference to the oil industry that the reason was the order of the Federal Agency for railway transport on the seals. To meet the increasing fuel needs in the holiday season Mr. hrabcak requests in July—August to temporarily soften the requirements for the carriage of petroleum products in direct railway communication at station CR. In addition, the Deputy Minister considers it appropriate to transfer the mode of operation of the ferry with daily on-site or increase the number of flights.The rising cost of fuel, including in Crimea, drew the attention and “Business Russia”, the head of which Alexey Repik July 15, sent a letter to Minister of energy Alexander Novak and the head of FAS Igor Artemyev (copy is in “Kommersant”, “Business Russia” have confirmed the fact of sending them). They say that “the increase in prices on motor fuel for many industries and regions (e.g. Republic of Crimea) may be a critical stop-factor for the implementation of the government measures for economic recovery”. The head of the Crimea Sergey Aksenov on 15 July said that the regional authorities have agreed with oil traders to reduce prices for gasoline AI-95 and AI-92 for 1 RUB After putting the numbers in print in the transport Ministry, “Kommersant” reported that since the beginning of freight train traffic on the Crimean bridge to the Peninsula was transported 478 cars loaded with coal, construction and timber cargoes, other types of cargo. From the Crimea, in turn, carried the 442 wagon with chemicals, soda, fluxes, and empty railcars. For transportation until the end of July declared and adopted in the transportation plan to the Crimea 279 wagons, explain in the Ministry of transport, including 233 of the car with oil products and liquefied hydrocarbon gases (LPG).15 on July the Crimean railroad to transport through the Crimean bridge received another composition of the 25 cars of aviation fuel to the airport Simferopol, told the Ministry, adding that “transportation was carried out with the implementation of the requirements of order of Federal Agency for railway transport from 10 June.””On the basis of the conducted CR a comparative analysis of oil transportation from the station Novoyaroslavskaya station Simferopol-Cargo under comparable conditions in a direct message through the bridge and transportation mixed transportation via ferry, saving when transporting in a direct message to one car amounted to 43,5 thousand roubles,— speak in the Ministry of transport.— Direct rail connections allowed to the shipper to refuse to pay the offshore section of the path and by changing the scheme of tariff to reduce the cost of transportation by 23% for each car. Given this information, it can be concluded that shippers willing to transport to direct rail transport through the Kerch Strait at the proposed conditions.” It also allows you to build a confident projections of growth for such shipments, added the Ministry.Anastasia Vedeneeva, Dmitry Kozlov, Natalya Skorlygina; Vadim Nikiforov, Simferopol
