The new federal law passed in Russia aims to ensure the sustainable operation of the transport complex and support entrepreneurs in the face of outside pressure. On April 6, the law was passed by the State Duma, on April 13 it was approved by the Federation Council, and on April 15, the Kremlin website reported that Vladimir Putin had signed the law.
The new law in particular is intended to provide the market with sufficient containers. To this end, the restriction on the use of containers from other states temporarily imported into the Russian Federation by rail has been lifted. Previously, such inner containers were only allowed to be used once and only within the temporary admission period.
In addition, thanks to the new law, the Government of the Russian Federation has been given the right to “take decisions providing for the details of the implementation of finance leases (leasing) of railway rolling stock, containers, seagoing vessels, inland waterway transport vessels or mixed (river -sea) navigation, the specifics of the implementation of weight and dimension control at checkpoints across the state border of the Russian Federation, as well as the features of opening such checkpoints.
As the site explains.rf writes, now Russian leasing companies will be able to avoid the arrest of their ships abroad. The source recalls that leases in Russia account for about 80 percent of off-budget shipbuilding orders. With the participation of Russian leasing companies in recent years, Russian shipyards have built about a hundred ships.
There are other important innovations in the new law. The document thus removes the requirement to provide reports on regular road transport of passengers and luggage and electric road transport in the city. And the law also allows you to temporarily cancel weight and size checks at checkpoints for trucks carrying food and essential goods.
