Shipping from Dubai to Russia by full container goes to one of two sea gateways: Novorossiysk on the Black Sea or St Petersburg on the Baltic. Which one fits depends on where the goods finish their journey inside Russia, and on which services are running when you book.
| Novorossiysk (Black Sea) | St Petersburg (Baltic) | |
|---|---|---|
| Sea route from Jebel Ali | West through the Suez Canal or round Africa, then the Mediterranean and Turkish Straits | West through the Suez Canal or round Africa, then round Western Europe into the Baltic |
| Typical routing | Often one transhipment at an Eastern Mediterranean or Turkish hub | Usually one or more transhipments; generally the longer of the two |
| Indicative port-to-port | 35–45 days | 35–45 days, typically at the longer end |
| Best for | Southern Russia: Krasnodar, Rostov-on-Don, Volgograd; Moscow by rail | St Petersburg and the north-west; Moscow region by road or rail |
Dubai to Novorossiysk shipping
Novorossiysk is Russia’s main Black Sea container port and the gateway we most often recommend for southern Russia. Services on this corridor are run mainly by Russian and regional lines rather than the big global alliances, so sailings are less frequent than on mainstream trades. Book early and keep some flexibility on the sailing date.
FCL to St Petersburg
St Petersburg is the Baltic gateway for north-west Russia and a common choice for consignees around Moscow. The sea leg is longer and normally involves transhipment, so we quote it alongside Novorossiysk and let you compare the total time to your warehouse.
Novorossiysk–Jebel Ali freight rates: what drives the price
We do not publish a rate table for Russia because the rates move month to month. A quote depends on container type (20ft, 40ft or 40ft HC), which line has space, the routing and number of transhipments, current war-risk and emergency surcharges in the Red Sea and Gulf, and equipment availability at the load port. Every quote we send states its validity date and the sailing it applies to, so a January quote is not reused in March.
Working with a Russia freight forwarder in the UAE
Before booking, every Russia shipment is screened by commodity, consignee and end use against the sanctions and export-control rules that apply to the carriers and banks involved. Some goods cannot be shipped at all; we tell you at quote stage, not after the container is packed.
Current routing note: while traffic through the Strait of Hormuz is disrupted, many carriers are loading UAE export containers at Khor Fakkan or Fujairah on the Gulf of Oman, with the box trucked there from Dubai. That adds a few days before sailing; we confirm the actual load port and cut-off when we book.
